	TOMS was founded in 2006 on a simple premise. With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Website: http://www.TOMS.com/ Company Overview: TOMS far exceeded our initial expectations and has improved the lives of children and families around the world with our giving efforts. Please visit www.TOMS.com to see the difference your purchase makes! In addition to the Official TOMS Shoes website, TOMS are sold in retail stores in over 20 countries worldwide including: UK, Japan, Sweden, Germany, Italy, South Korea, and Australia. The donated # of shoes to children in need has exceeded over ONE MILLION shoes!!!

	Why Shoes? In some developing nations, children must walk for miles to food, clean water and to seek medical help. Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection. Often, children cannot attend school barefoot. In Ethiopia, approximately one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot in volcanic soil. *Podoconiosis is 100% preventable by wearing shoes.
