Day 270: Soles4Souls


Shoe days are always extra special at our local national free clinic as it takes several weeks to accumulate enough donated footwear to give out to the kids. These kids walk several miles, often carrying a younger sibling, while wearing beaten up sandals or remaining barefoot. Well today we made their day as we featured footwear donated by the organization Soles4Souls which included some very cool pairs of shoes from brand names such as Adidas and Timberland. We had a blast fitting these Afghan children with shoes especially when watching their eyes light up as they stared in amazement at shoes equipped with velcro straps, colorful designs, and sometimes even little blinking lights.


Check out my new kicks!

I wanted to especially thank Soles4Souls for their contribution to the mission of the Camp Clark Community Clinic. Their donation of footwear, along with so many others from family and friends, has greatly impacted the quality of life of children here in Khowst Province, Afghanistan. As you can see from the pictures above, the shoes have been greatly appreciated!


Thank you, from the Camp Clark Community Clinic team
