Drop TOMS, Not Bombs

I recently learned of a really interesting volunteer opportunity and wanted to share it with all of you 'travel with a purpose' lovers.

Friends of TOMS works in partnership with TOMS Shoes, and is a non-profit organization committed to connecting volunteers with the One for One movement by experiencing it first hand. How can you contribute? Participate in a TOMS Shoe Drop, an adventure to serve those in need of decent footwear; deliver shoes, partake in excursions, meet new friends, and make a difference in the young lives of children. Invest in a volunteer to participate in this adventure. Provide treatments for those children already infected. Provide support in scouting new locations. Become a TOMS advocate and spread the word. BUY TOMS!
