Christian Century, July 1, 2008

SHOE LEATHER: Ron Hunter, who coaches basketball at Indiana University--Purdue University Indianapolis, is taking his players to Nigeria this month to hold basketball clinics and to deliver nearly 200,000 pairs of shoes. This past season, Hunter responded to a challenge from Samaritan's Feet by coaching a game barefoot to encourage contributions of shoes for African children.

Samaritan's Feet is a Christian-based charity whose goal is to send 10 million shoes in ten years to children living in poverty (AP).
