Bluffton University grad: Shoe-giver moved by faces of Peru

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 25, 2013 - 5:47pm

Stephanie Jankov won’t soon forget the faces she saw in Peru the week of Sept. 9.

They were the faces of many of the 1,802 children—from toddlers to teenagers, in daycare and schools—who received new shoes from a group, including Jankov, on a “giving trip” for TOMS Shoes. For every purchased pair of its shoes, the Santa Monica, Calif.-based company gives one free pair to a needy child in nearly 60 countries worldwide.
