Students with the Charles Davis Learning Foundation received a gift to kick start the new school year Monday. The Nashville-based charity Soles 4 Souls fit each student who participated in the Camp Peace Program with a new pair of shoes. The Camp Peace Program is an eight week youth enrichment program for children from low income families."We give away a pair of shoes every 28 seconds all around the world," stated founder Wayne Elsey. "And I've made a huge commitment here to Nashville and to the United States that we will give away a lot of shoes over the next 12 months. This is just one of the many events planned this year in Nashville, Tennessee.”
The students were fitted for shoes at the Charles Davis Learning Foundation on Metro Center Boulevard. The kids were very excited.
“It pretty much makes everybody feel special," stated student Wayne McGhee. "They're all getting new shoes that they've probably never seen before."
