Greg Woodburn, a university student, spends a lot of time cleaning sports shoes. Some of them once
belonged to him; some belonged to his friends. But soon the shoes will have new owners, poor children
in the USA and 20 other countries, thanks to Greg's Share Our Soles (鞋底) (S.O.S) charity.
Greg was a high school running star in a small town in California. He had to stop running for months
because his knee was injured. "I started thinking about all the things I got from running, the health, the
friendships and the confidence." he says. And I realized there are children who don't even have shoes.
Greg collected his own sports shoes and then called his friends and the town. His aim was to have
100 pairs by Christmas 2006. When the number climbed to more than 500 pairs. Greg know that he could
collect sports shoes all year round.
Now he has set up collection boxes in his town. So far, S.O.S has collected and donated more than
3,000 pairs of shoes. And Greg has cleaned almost all of them. "People think of it as duty work," he says,
"but I like doing it, because I feel happy when I'm doing it. It's not work I want to pass on to someone
else."
In just three years, Greg has started three branches (分部) of S.O.S and there are more and more
sports shoes.
For many poor children who have received the shoes mean opportunity. Two young boys in southern
California used to go to school on alternate days (隔日) because they both shared a pair of shoes. They
were too big for one boy and too small for the other. Thanks to S.O.S, each brother received his own
pair of shoes. The boys now go to school every day. When they graduate, they say they will help others,
just as Greg helped them.
