Sami started learning about the plight of these children when her family was in the process of adopting her brother from Ethiopia. She learned that many children do without the necessities and saw pictures of children with shoe that were literally falling off their feet. Sami knew she wanted to help and that is how she decided she would sell her homemade bottle cap necklaces to raise money to buy shoes. $18 will buy a good pair of sturdy shoes for a child who badly needs them.
Sami donates 100% of the money from her bottle cap necklaces to Children’s HopeChest to help buy shoes for these children. The necklaces are very cute and make excellent gifts. They are fun for birthdays, party favors, and thank yous. They would also be the perfect thing for all of your sweethearts this Valentine’s Day!
Sami loves to share stories about what other kids have done to help buy a pair of shoes for the orphans at Kombolcha. You can send a check for $18 (or whatever you can) to Children’s HopeChest to a special account set up to buy shoes.

If you do, Sami wants to blog about you!!! Please send Sami an e-mail (davidsonfamilystl@sbcglobal.net) letting her know your name, where you are from, what you did to raise the money, and a picture if you want. Sami includes updates on her blog with your story. This would be a great project for moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, and aunts and uncles to do with their kids!
