Ruta writing...It is always fun to see the joy that donations bring. Here are photos from the distribution of donations of shoes and socks from my colleagues in Accenture. Upon seeing some of our past pictures from Ethiopia, on their own initiative, Rob and Beth organized a shoe collection drive. They gathered sports shoes, cleats and baby shoes. These children live in tin shacks in our area or they basically live on the streets. Shoes are a tremendous gift to them, particularly now that the rainy season has started. The rain comes down in buckets and the weather can get quite chilly. The streets turn into thick, mucky mud, and slogging around with shoes with holes, or with flip flops or in bare feet is not pleasant. I am sure that new shoes make a huge difference to these kids.
Thank you Accenture, Global Delivery Excellence group!
