1. The school year started with new pairs of shoes for children, thanks to Jacob Rice and his organisation, Shoe Giver of Tampa. Jacob started supplying shoes to Tampa children four years ago when he was ten years old. He had the ambition1 to change the lives of children who were too poor to buy shoes. "My dream at the age of ten was to make a difference to children’s lives," he said.
2. He called the local Develop Communities Corporation and asked what Tampa children needed. "Shoes" was the answer that came back, so he knew what he needed to do. "I knew I could do it and I wanted to help," he said.
3. He founded his organisation, Shoe Giver of Tampa, but collecting and distributing2 thousands of pairs of shoes requires a lot of effort and cooperation. Luckily, Jacob found a partner, the Shoes4Souls. Elsey, a former shoe industry director, founded Shoes4Souls after the Asian tsunami3 struck in 2004. He worked with his workmates in the shoe industry to send more than 25,000 pairs of shoes to South-east Asia. When Elsey heard about Jacob, he decided to cooperate with the child by supplying him with a large number of shoes.
