It's International Children’s Day June 1st, and to celebrate the occasion, Bilaal Rajan is asking ALL people around the world to go barefoot – everywhere – to raise awareness about child poverty throughout the globe.
People throughout the world are getting involved and are participating in this Barefoot Challenge. I want to thank each one of you who are ready and willing to go barefoot for the children of the world.
At Bilaal's school, four months ago, he promised to have his head shaved on behalf of the school that raised the most funds for the earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. It was Lakefield which took that goal to heart and raised the most. So besides going without shoes, he’ll be without hair as well.
I just want to urge all of you to go barefoot tomorrow (June 1). Get ready to kick off those shoes for the children of the world. To really know someone, you have to walk a mile in their shoes – or without them all together!
