In the spring of 2008 our sister organization ‘Humana Spain’ distributed shoes in Malawi, initiated by Sara Lee’s Spanish HQ. It was a great success, and Sara Lee’s British team decided to launce  ‘Shoe for Africa’. They arranged a true ‘People to People Action’; involving children to donate shoes in 200 schools in UK. The shoes were brought to Planet Aid UK’s sorting centre in Corby.

In November Planet Aid UK’s sorting team started, together with Sara Lee’s marketing team to  sort all the collected shoes and packed them ready for shipment to Mozambique. It was a great day where we all enjoyed each others company.
