Where Wearing Slippers is a Luxury

Many of us have several pairs of shoes.  We take pride in them, take care of them, cherish them with all our hearts.  Wearing footwear is, of course, nothing but a normal thing to us everyday.  We worry about things we thought are the biggest problems in the world while we our comfortably being protected by our footwear and carry us wherever we need to go.  

But have you ever thought of those children who do not own even a single pair of the cheapest slippers?  They have to go trekking for hours and even cross a river just to go to school to attend a class for that day - barefoot.  Even wearing slippers is a luxury for them.  It is something they just cannot afford.  I was deeply concerned by a documentary by Howie Severino about people like these.

A pair of slippers may not mean anything to us.  It may be just something that we wear when we go to the bathroom, or do the laundry.  But a pair would go a long way for these people who are not as blessed as we are.  A pair of slippers will help them work for their family, or go to school in pursuit of their dreams.  It will help them go on with life with their feet not scratching the rough ground with every stride to make it through the day. A pair would mean a lot.
