Giving 20,000 Shoes To Kids In Africa

for hundreds of thousands of kids in South Africa the only thing standing between them and an education is a simple pair of shoes let me explain because of the extreme poverty in rural towns walking to school Barefoot is the only option which means they have to walk for miles over horse terrain broken glass and contaminated water but before tax Problem by donating 20 000 pairs of shoes we flew to Johannesburg South Africa where we found a charity called barefoot no more that uses these plastic granules and then it goes through all these tubes and does a bunch of other complicated mechanical stuff that eventually creates the perfect seamless shoe whoa these are actually really nice then Darren and the team quickly boxed up the shoes and we headed to Cape Town to find the schools whose students are in the most desperate need of help where we met Gabriella and Roswell two Junior School teachers in a rural Village who have devoted their entire lives to educating underprivileged kids you would not begin to imagine what our kids have to go through on a normal day to deem domestic violence is these schools not only offer an opportunity to learn but also a safe haven where students are protected in these dangerous communities one of the biggest sellers actually getting the kids too smooth our Learners have to walk miles and miles just to get to school you can be a struggle with all the thoughts and needles help them go to school I can be a great teacher but I can't be a teacher to nobody despite all of the difficulties that these kids face at home to hear that they're not coming to school because they don't have school shoes it's just heartbreaking I can't wait for these shoes to arrive to see what a big difference it's going to make the next well Darren and the team Race to set up everything in time I want to tell you about the sponsor of electric e-bikes they helped us pay for tens of thousands of shoes going to people in need electric e-bikes is an awesome company full of incredible people they have come on board to help us create Mass change this year and transform millions of lives all across the globe there are so many amazing projects to come so make sure you subscribe right now so you don't miss it and in addition to that sneaker collector Yeezy Buster helped us out by selling some of his prized possession shoes and put that money towards funding some of the 20 000 pairs of shoes were given away in this video the word got out quickly and according to the teachers the schools were more packed than they've ever been with school kids eager to get a pair of shoes so Darren and the team had to work extra hard to ensure that every single kid got their own pair of shoes the kids this morning all came walking in without any shoes on they need the shoes and I cannot wait to see the smile on these kids faces [Music] it came down to the wire but we were able to reach our goal [Music] to witness these kids wearing their first ever pairs of shoes was really emotional and again a realization of the basic needs that most of us take for granted for most people this is very hard to understand for using something as simple as a pay of school shoes to change my Learners lives for the beta um [Music] or Xbox or something it makes yo it's a blessing it's something I'll never forget it's one of the best days of my life what you have done here at my school it's absolutely amazing foreign [Music]
