Penultimate Day
This morning was a beautiful, chilly, autumnal morning. The temperature of the ground made my feet ache but it was hard not to appreciate the sun and the freshness of the air. I had a guy come up to me and ask me if I'd had a rough night last night, referring to my barefootedness (I hope) which was funny and of course a perfect opportunity to explain the challenge.
Today I started volunteering at an Anti-Racism youth group where my sign and feet got the kids talking about their ideas of poverty. It was cool to hear what they thought and which aspect of poverty they would live for a week if they were doing the challenge. One young boy had obviously been very affected by the sight of a homeless man eating at scraps of food from a bin.
In keeping with the theme this Oxfam article perfectly links poverty and discrimination...
One more day of bare feet for me but there is still soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much that has to be (and CAN BE) done for the 1.5 billion living in poverty.
Spread the word about the Robin Hood Tax proposal.
