We are having a party and cutting shoes for children in Africa. It is a pattern that is similar to the popular "Toms" style. The shoes protect the children's feet from an insect called a jigger (sand flea). You can check out their website for more info at solehope.org. Adults and Teens are welcome. Teens can earn SERVICE HOURS.
Supplies needed for party: Old Blue Jeans, Scissors, Milk carton plastic, Large Safety Pins, Pens & Sharpies, Cardboard or Plastic Folders, Gallon Ziplock Bags. Please bring one or more items with you to the party. Donations can be made by cash or check payable to Sole Hope.
Other needs of the children that will be collected for this cause include:
Surgical Gloves, Cotton Balls, Medical Tape, Antibiotic Cream, Gauze, Band Aids, and fun stickers for the kids. We will ship these items with the completed shoe patterns.
If you are interested, email us your name and the number of people in your group. Spots are limited.

Description
We lead the next generation of warriors, and the battle they face is the battle of the mind!
Growing trends in teen homelessness, unemployment, mental health struggles and even suicide have prompted us to study the root of the problem. Most of the time, it is a sense of hopelessness. Too many teens do not see their full potential. They are bullied and even programmed by society to think that they have no worth. When it gets really bad, they do not have the brain development to see the possibility of hope.
We've learned that hope is a sense of self, safety and community. This is where our warrior is found! In 2020 we are helping teens to find their inner warrior. WAR PAINT Whether for battle or celebration, the painted face of the warrior is unique to the individual. STC uses art as a means of self-expression, healing and fun. ARMOR The warrior's armor is designed for battle. It protects the warrior's weakest parts. The armor we build is that of confidence, skills and wit. TRIBE A warrior does not go into battle alone. He is supported by his tribe. They find a tribe here at STC. We are artists, gamers, actors, athletes and activists.
Be a part of the movement to change the way we teach the next generation...the generation that will take care of us one of these days!
