Walk a Mile in My Shoes

"If I could be you,

if you could be me for just one hour

If we could find a way to get inside each other's mind,

If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego

I believe you'd be surprised to see that you've been blind,

Walk a mile in my shoes,

walk a mile in my shoes

Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes."

Words and Music by Joe South sung by Elvis Presley

So far we have collected over 150 flip flops for the children and more are coming in . . .

Here are a few of the beautiful children in Kersa Ilala in Ethiopia, where Village of Hope is making a difference in these children's lives. You can watch some videos of the children and see a few of the things the foundation is doing.

Learning to Give, Giving to Learn

Learn not only to find what you like, learn to like what you find.
~Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book


Our May 12th meeting was hosted by Ardis. We again worked on the foam shapes that go into the children's school kits and had a lovely luncheon.

Coming to a Theater Near You

Our compassionate service enrichment group will be collecting flip flops for the Village of Hope foundation.http://www.villageofhope-ethiopia.org/.

They really need flip flops in children's sizes - but any size will do.
They have flip flops for $1.00 at the Dollar Store, but another group working on this project indicated that the flip flops found at Old Navy are more durable and will last longer - and many other stores carry them as well.

If you would like to donate some flip flops to the Village of Hope, you can bring them to the upcoming meeting or give them to Carolyn, Lynn or Sandy.

Our meeting in June will be Tuesday, June 9, 1:00 p.m.at Judy D's home. Bring your friends and come enjoy an afternoon of caring!
