Greg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends much time cleaning sneakers. Some once belonged tohim; some were his friends. But soon they will have new owners; underprivilegedchildren in the US and 20 other countries, thanks toWoodburn's Share Our Shoes (S. 0. S.) charity.
He was once a football star in high school. " I started thinkingabout all the things I got from running—the health benefits, thefriendships, the confidence, " he says. “And I realized there arechildren who don't even have shoes.”
Woodburn gathered up his own slightly worn sneakers, thenput out a call to teammates and the town. His goal was to have 100pairs by Christmas 2007. Surprisingly the count climbed to 500pairs. Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes at the localsporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn hasnow set up collection boxes at two high schools. To date, S. 0. S. hascollected and donated over 3,000 pairs.
Woodburn has cleaned almost all of them. “People think of itas dirty work, “He says.”But I like doing it. As I work, I imaginewho will get each pair. “It takes three to five minutes to clean onepair, and he'll do up to 100 pairs at a time.
To ship the footwear, Woodburn teamed with Sports Gift, anonprofit organization that provides soccer and baseball equipmentto children around the world, whose founder and president saidGreg's running shoes were a nice addition. For many recipients, theshoes represent opportunity. Two boys in Southern California attended school on alternate(间隔的)days because they shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small the other. Thanksto S. 0. S. ,each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boysnow attend school daily.
