The Crocs went lots of places, but here is just one. These kids are street kids in Addis. They have lost their parents to AIDS, disease or hunger. They have no home. They literally live on their own, beg during the day and spend what little money they get on something to eat. Most of the time, they don't each much. Che, the program that ministers to these kids, has a hard time keeping them because they like the freedom of living on the street. Che would like to be able to have 50 kids in the program, but they only have funding for seven. So seven kids received crocs at this particular place. When I try to think of what it must be like to be a child who has no home and no family and lives totally independently, I can't even imagine. Thank you to all who contributed crocs, or money for crocs. These children have so many needs, and shoes seem like such a small thing, but small things can make a difference. The children loved the crocs. And yes, one of boys ended up with pink crocs because that was the only size that fit him, but he didn't seem to mind. Pink is in this season for guys, right?
