Prince George, B.C.- International students from Korea, Japan, Brazil, Venezuela, Dubai, India, Russia  and Ecuador put their best foot  forward  last night  in an effort to raise awareness for the less fortunate.

The students took part in  the event called “A Day with No shoes”  to support the efforts of TOMS Shoes which  donates one pair of shoes for every pair of shoes sold.  In addition, TOMS Shoes  donates a pair of eyeglasses for every pair of sunglasses sold.

It’s all about awareness, doing  something for the less fortunate” says Pavel Isaev of Russia,      “Not everyone in the world can afford a pair of shoes.”

By spreading the word about TOMS Shoes the students  are hopeful,  people in Prince George will   find a way to buy a pair of TOMS Shoes ( available at Cycle Logic on 3rd)

Going without shoes for the day  taught these students some important lessons “We know how  so many people  who  live  without shoes feel” says Karla Aguilar  of Venezuela  who adds the lesson  was at times, painful, “There are a lot of tiny  rocks in Prince George”.
