Top FootBall Shoes

During high school, we were required to buy football gears because it is part of our Physical Education. Actually, it is the sport being played by seniors.

Finally, after a month long shoe collecting and shoe repairing tasks, Sole Box Foundation Philippines was finally able to conduct its first ever outreach program last Friday, in 2 schools and 2 slum areas in Silang and Dasmariņas, both towns of Cavite province.

The Christmas holidays is coming once again. This is the time of the year where gifts are flying from here to there and vice versa. I always have good memories of Christmas.

Pamper Yourself, Buy Some Shoes
