June 1st, 2011 is International Children's Day. To celebrate the occasion, Bilaal Rajan is participating in an event he started two years ago called the Barefoot Challenge, where he lives life without shoes to raise awareness about child poverty in the developing world.
Bilaal is asking everyone all over the world to kick off their shoes on June 1st and participate. Students can ask their principal to get schools involved that afternoon by going barefoot and discussing the very important issue of child poverty in classrooms.
Bilaal is asking Barefoot Challenge participants to have friends, family and neighbours sponsor them and donate the proceeds to UNICEF or a children's charity of their choice.
fantastic idea!!!!
