“Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.”<\/p>\n
Marilyn Monroe was probably not thinking of athletic shoes when she made this statement, but it does apply to our \u201cAfrican Soles for African Souls\u201d project.<\/p>\n
The spring edition of Legacy (UNICEF\u2019S newsletter)features a story titled \u201cGirl\u2019s Education is the Key to Gender Equality\u201d, and highlights their success through sports programs helping to delay early marriage, keep girls in school and boost their academic success. Although the shoes that will be purchased for the African Soul, American Heart school for orphaned girls will not be used exclusively for athletics, they will help these girls be healthy and active.<\/p>\n
We are so grateful for the $650.10 donation that came from our parishioners and the extra match money that will double that donation.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the words of Seo Min Hyun are a better fit – \u201cGood shoes take you good places.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thanks to all whose generous \u201cAmerican Hearts\u201d helped make this such a successful effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
