Pitching in

Katherine helped to keep the sizes sorted and to match people with shoes.


A bunch of kids had tried on their shoes and were kind of sitting there looking confused. Turns out, they don't know how to tie shoes, having worn nothing, or flip flops, for most of their lives. So I became the official shoe tie guy for a while.


It was great to see the faces light up as the kids found shoes that fit. In some cases, they were probably a little big or small, but they would say, 'no, it fits' because maybe they liked the cool silver color, or were worried that they wouldn't find another pair that was as good a fit. Either way, Dean and his high school soccer team made a lot of Lao kids VERY happy today.
