I just applied to be a campus rep at OC this coming semester with TOMS Shoes. If you don't know who they are, you're really missing out. It was founded by a guy named Blake Mycoskie a few years ago after he went on a trip to Argentina and noticed that a lot of children were not wearing any shoes. When he got back to the United States, he started designing these shoes. Now, every time someone buys a pair of TOMS Shoes, another pair is given to a child in need. So, even though they may be a bit more expensive than a regular pair of shoes would cost you, think about the fact you are actually buying 2 pairs of shoes! I really cool thing I like about this company is they don't just send the shoes to where they need to go. They actually get a team together and go to different countries and put the shoes on the child's feet. How rewarding would that be?! Ever since I went to Honduras back in 2005, I have been praying for another opportunity for me to do more mission work in other parts of the world. This could very well be the answer to those prayers (I hope)! This internship includes getting your school involved with TOMS. I would be planning parties, fundraisers, and events and selling shoes (of course!) to help promote and raise money for the organization. I have a few ideas already, which I'm pretty excited about! I've realized that I really do want to go into non-profit work after graduation, so this could really help me get my foot in the door. I do not when I find out if I got the internship, so if you could say a prayer for me I would really appreciate it!
