Amongst the frenzy that is going on here on EVOKE, I ask you, my fellow EVOKEians to please join me tomorrow, Thursday, April 8th, for one day without shoes. It will be something not only to indirectly bring our community together, but it will also give you the opportunity to make a difference.
One day without shoes is hosted by
TOMS shoes. If you don't know about the company already, please read my very first blog post. It was about the founder, Blake Mycoskie. This day is one on which to raise awareness about the various problems that people around the world are facing simply because they do not have shoes.
Rahul put a great video up that is from TOMS shoes about a 100% preventable disease called podoconiosis. It can be found here:

Please take a few moments to visit TOMS website and learn a little bit more about it, and when someone asks you why you are not wearing shoes, you can give them an educated answer, and put a lot of meaning behind your actions.
Thanks.
If you do decide to take part, please share pictures here as evidence! I would love to see people getting involved :)
