In 2019 Brenda was able to visit this village for the first time. She showed up with a van full of shoes and was struck by the extreme need She knew she didn't have enough shoes for all the children and it broke her heart.
Since then, she has returned with volunteer groups on multiple occasions and has given shoes to every child in the village. She plans on returning every year.

In 2020 Brenda was struck by the amazing people of this village. They were so loving and welcoming. She didn't realize until after she left that most of them didn't even have basic necessities like running water in their homes.
​
These children, and others like them, are why we do what we do every single year.
