Academic Work sponsors orphaned girl children to attain primary and secondary school education in Livingstone district in the southern province of Zambia. Recently shoes were distributed to pupils and it was touching to see the impact a pair of shoes make on a child’s life.  Elizabeth (Response Network sponsorship coordinator) will never forget that day when she arrived at Bata shop where the children received shoes from. She started giving shoes to each individual child, as they went in she could hear their laughter and excitement as the kids were amazed by their new gifts. As she stood there, she could see the excitement in the children’s face.  It was in that moment that she realized that every pair makes a difference.
