Students donate shoes to be sent to children in Africa

SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -

Students in the Family Career and Community Leaders of America organization at Myers Middle School spent part of their school day packing up nearly 400 pairs of shoes that will be sent to the State Capitol and then onto children in Africa. The group has been collecting shoes for the Souls for Shoes program for a few weeks and say students are still bringing in shoes.

"It makes me and some other students feel pride because they are not only receiving, they are giving to those who are less fortunate and do not have certain things in life," said Sabrina Clark, FCCLA president.

Faculty advisors say they are also proud to be taking part and are excited to hear when the shoes arrive to a person in need.
