-NOTE FROM CORY-
The year 2011, board member Teri Smith and I visited our project in Tanzania.  The first day at the site, the smiles of all the children captured my attention until I looked at my friend Teri whose eyes were welling with tears.  She choked as she whispered to me "Look at their shoes."  Some were sizes too small with a foot snugly fitting into the front and a heel hitting bare ground in the back, others had the sole of the shoe fastened to its top with a shoelace to keep it held together.  Aside from that we found that many of the enrolled children could not attend because they could not walk to school or walk to school safely.
  
I believe the picture says it all!!  Thank you for matching the funds we were offered this Christmas to make the Tanzania Van project possible.  Look forward to stories on how it has made a difference, thanks to you!!!!!  and the generous offer from our matching grantor!!!!!
