Sal&#39;s is based in England and collects shoes to distribute to children around the world who have none. The statistics on their website indicates that there are 300 million barefoot children worldwide. 58 million children worldwide are not in school and 29 million of these are because they do not have the means. In many countries you cannot go to school without a pair of shoes. Following the recent collection among the community in Wenvoe, parents from Gwenfo school and friends in the area, I am delighted to say I have collected 135 pairs of suitable pre-loved, kids shoes, boots and slippers for Sal&#39;s Shoes. Thank you so much to all who donated. Since I started the collection, I am delighted to add that there is a new Cardiff collection point for any shoes in the future: Get Roller Skating, has<\/em> <em>nominated Sal&#39;s as its Charity of the Year. If you would like to donate shoes in future, visit the Sal&#39;s Shoes website on www.salsshoes.com or contact Get Roller Skating on 07391 703435, e-mail hello@ getrollerskating.co.uk <\/em>or visit <em>www.getrollerskating. co.uk who can receive your donation locally.
