Video: Coronado Rotary Partners with TOMS Shoes and Delivers Thousands of Shoes to African Children

This heartwarming story and video was recently shared with eCoronado.com. It is very timely as we enter the holiday season as well as consider giving to those in need locally and around the world.

Last year, the Coronado Rotary Club received a grant from TOMS Shoes resulting in thousands of Missionvale’s children receiving a new pair of shoes every six months. Missionvale is located in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Coronado’s Dan Gensler (owner of The Gensler Group and member of the Coronado Rotary) traveled to South Africa to be part of this large scale distribution effort and is interviewed in the video below. More shoes are on the way.

Watch the video to see how the Coronado Rotary is helping make a difference all over the world. If you want to purchase a pair of TOMS, they are sold right here in Coronado at Emerald City, located at 1118 Orange Avenue.
