After days of promotion of our GIN club's annual one day without shoes, today was the day. However, it was not that successful. Since morning, it started raining, and I thought people we're as devoted enough to come to school without shoes for various reasons. Firstly, people were not aware of this event, and people were afraid to step up and take off their shoes. As an international community, I think we should be more involved with these events, but its not as easy as it looks. That one step action of taking off the shoes is probably the most challenging step. It was quite disappointing because people who knew also came to school with shoes. People should act not selfish but for the community. This experience was for us to be in the shoes of the poor people who are suffering from no shoes. Our school is considered as the school for "rich" people, and we live in satisfactory in life, therefore, it is hard to imagine how people live through these conditions.
