Okay, so if you were to read the newspaper or websites that have the latest news on what's going on in the world currently, you would probably already know that people in poverty stricken countries can hardly make ends meet... It is and always has been about whether they would be able to make it through to see another day... This includes children... Adults and children both live very short lives in those countries...
Well, my friend had this idea... I mean people living in countries like America, Canada, Australia and Malaysia can be considered well off compared to third world countries like Africa and India... We don't experience the things that those people go through on a daily basis... So, my friend proposed to start this 'Shoe-less Day'... Its a day where people in my college, who are willing to participate, go to college for a whole day without any kind of shoes with an exception to the toilet and going outside the college for food... I mean seriously, its not safe to not wear shoes around... Besides, the temperature in my country is ridiculously high and it would be inadvisable to walk around barefooted unless it is a life and death situation... Haha... Okay, back to the topic... So, by participating we're hoping that we'll roughly get the idea... But even when we're participating in this, we're not even close to experiencing everything those people go through but I guess at least we can say we've tried... Hehe...
