The boots made it home — see for yourself

The boots made it home — see for yourself — photo from Barrouallie, St. Vincent

This is what this campaign looks like when it works.

Last Christmas I went home to Barrouallie and brought boots for the kids. These photos are that promise kept: bins of boots and keeper gloves collected abroad, packed up, carried home — and then this.

Every pair found feet. The whole squad turned out on the village field, and for once nobody was sharing boots or playing in worn-out sneakers.

That's what your $5, your $30, or your old pair of cleats becomes. Uniforms are next — that's what this campaign is raising for. And just like these photos, you'll see every step.
