Thanks for the phone call

We would like to thank all enquirers' for their phone call. We are eagerly anticipating for the list of needy children in need of new school shoes. At the same time, we are also awaiting for the school shoes donation to start coming in.

Please tell all your friends about this 'School Shoes Blessing' programme.

Cheers :)

A new pair, please?

In Singapore, all school-going children deserve to have at least a new pair of school shoes in each academic year. However, there are still many school childrens in each academic year without a comfortable, fitting and sturdy pair of school shoes.

In this season of giving, please buy at least a pair of school shoes for a child in need. Vision Network Society need 200 pairs of school shoes* (unisex, various sizes). At the same time, you are also encouraged to find needy children wishing for at least a new pair of school shoes but probably wouldn’t be able to buy them. Getting new comfortable, fitting and sturdy shoes for school is a self-esteem boost for a child. It will affect a child life profoundly by giving him/her an opportunity that so many of us take for granted – the opportunity to learn and build towards a better life.

Tell all your friends about it. Imagine, what a difference your small gesture can make to a child in a new academic year. By doing something small and simple, you are demonstrating that people really do care. Begin to make a difference. It requires only a bit more time, energy and commitment.

Call Vision Network Society for details (such as the latest inventory of the size shoes needed and how many children are found needing new school shoes). Please send the new pair of school shoes together with the receipt to Vision Network Society by 10 December 2008. Please accompany the child in need of school shoes to Vision Network Society for a pair of new school shoes after 20 December 2008.

* Based on Bata school shoes sizes: Size 13 = 20 pairs (typically for Primary 1); Size 1-8 = 180 pairs (from primary up to secondary/tertiary students)
