Shoes for Darfur

I caught a brief segment on CBC's Intown and Out yesterday with Julie Houde. She is an Ottawa-area teenager raising awareness of Sole Responsibility, an organization that collects old running shoes, walking shoes, hiking boots. Collected footwear is then send to Chad (Africa), where they are distributed to people in refugee camps displaced from their homes in Darfur.

Drippychick kudo goes to Julie Houde for caring enough to get involved, and to Sole Responsibility for doing good work for people who need help. Bravo Julie and Bravo Sole Responsibility!
