1 for 1

I support TOMS shoes. For every pair you buy they will give a pair to a child in Ethiopia who doesn't have shoes.
TOMS are cute, stylish, and extremely comfortable. You should buy a pair.

Haiti Hits Home

So like the earthquake. It really hit home. Really hit home.

Once you've been somewhere like Haiti you can never forget. And I only saw the small marketplace across from the Haitian/Dominican border. The poverty there struck me enough to realise how bad it must be there in general.

Imagine going from almost nothing, to nothing. Where your one pair of holey, to small, tattered, ripped up, shirt was all you had, and you barely had a roof over your head, to nothing....

Yeah. I'd freak too...

I just thought it was worth mentioning in English how bad it is. I haven't seen it hands on since the earthquake, well since 2007, but I can only imagine...

But our imagination should scare us enough help.
