Growing Shoes: A Gift of Joy for Our Students

This Christmas, our feeding program students were treated to a delightful surprise in January thanks to the generosity of a new sponsor who donated “growing shoes”. These shoes are not just an ordinary gift; they symbolize hope, comfort, and support for our students, who have expressed overwhelming excitement upon receiving them.

Our students were amazed at the unique feature of these growing shoes—the ability to change sizes! Many of them couldn't believe that a single pair of shoes could adapt as they grow. The joy on their faces when they discovered this remarkable quality was truly priceless.

In addition to the adjustable sizes, the students also loved the stylish designs and the bright blue and pink color. Our students are now not only better equipped for their daily activities but also feel confident and proud of their new footwear.

But the benefits don’t stop there. These “growing shoes” are crafted from durable materials, ensuring they last much longer than standard shoes. This is crucial for our students, as quality footwear can significantly enhance their comfort and mobility, allowing them to focus on their studies and everyday activities without the worry of worn-out shoes.

The donation of these shoes goes beyond mere material support; it embodies the spirit of community and support. Just as Haiti's independence represents courage and resilience, these “growing shoes” represent hope for a future.

We are incredibly grateful to our new sponsor for their thoughtful contribution, which empowers our students and reminds them they are cared for. We thank our new sponsors and all our other sponsors for your ongoing generosity. Together we are helping the dear poor children of Haiti have hope and a better future.

With love from the YES! staff.
