They challenge you to take flipflop challenge for youth. - Try walking barefoot outdoors for a day this summer or winter. Now imagine young children having to walk barefoot, on hot roads, on unclean and possibly unsanitary streets in Goa. Together we can team up and send flip flops to these children, they not only offer a healthier alternative to walking barefoot, but are a fun and simple way to offer a child or toddler a feeling of ownership while adding to their confidence and dignity. The 2010 flip flop campaign has 4 drive options: 1. Flop Drop: We will have youth from different parts of the San Francisco Bay Area hold a flipflop drop off in their area where people could drop off flip flop donations. If a drop off is held in other parts of the U.S. I would suggest donating an additional $1 to help cover costs of shipping. 2. Flipflop global: Donate online at Goa Sudharop website (click on DONATE on the Home Page), a suggested minimum donation of $3 donation will easily cover the feet of a child or toddler with a pair of flipflops. $15 would make 5 children happy. 3. Our team will also contact organizations such as Old Navy, Target, and other possible businesses, to see if they would help support this cause. 4. Hold a booth at a local event that will permit guests to donate. The Goal for 2010 is 100 pairs of flipflops Proposed by Kiran Shastri – Goa Sudharop Youth Leadership Team For more details contact [email protected] Thank you for your support.
