to impact 10,000 of his residents in Burundi.I am excited to be a part of this incredible journey, said President Nkurunziza, who went many years without shoes himself. To be able to wash the feet of the poorest of the poor in my country is an honor and a blessing that God is allowing me to do. My goal is to work with Samaritans Feet to put shoes on the feet of a million children in Burundi. We are striving for reconciliation and peace through this act of servant hood. We want to empower Burundians to give back.

Every Saturday, marks the Burundi National Day of Service where Nkurunziza encourages Burundians to give back. Saturday, Nkurunziza will join his fellow countrymen to give back by placing shoes on the feet of impoverished children throughout Burundi. Nkurunziza understands what it means to be poor. He was an orphan at the age of five and spent many years in the jungle fighting for his life.

The distribution will take place at the Community Center in Bujumbura from 8:00am-1:00pm. The event is a culmination of a week -long Festival of Hope. He will be joined by members of Parliament, who will also wash the feet of the poor and distribute shoes to them.

Joining Nkurunziza is Samaritans Feet President and Founder, Emmanuel (Manny) Ohonme, who didnt have shoes until the age of 9 years old, and members of the Samaritans Feet team.

What a great President, he is the first one in the history of Burundi to humble himself in this way...All the previous arrogant Uprona Presidents never did this...God bless this man!!!

@micha2750 You must be an arrogant Tutsi from your comments...You guys are used to arrogant Tutsi Presidents who stayed in Bujumbura...Well we the rest of the population (95% who lives outside Bujumbura) are happy that the President is so humble and is willing to wash people's feet. He travels in the villages, which is new to Burundi. Viva President Nkurunziza, 2015!!!

A humble person doesn't do things for being seen and doesn't say high, LOOK I AM HUMBLE. He should let others say it.
