These people are trying to help kids who have to suffer ever day without shoes because they want to change the world. Hopefully there are many others including our class.

I wonder if every time someone buys a shoe it would make like a whole box of shoes because Jishnu said that a pair of Toms shoes cost $60 but he also said that for each pair of shoes that is made it is only $4. So wouldn't they have about 5-10 shoes because they also need to save money.

This is really inspiring. It is amazing to know that a company that we use in America is changing the world. One pair of shoes at a time. I think this was an amazing idea to start a business like this. I think so especially because everyone who has money and time to buy shoes is helping other kids who don't. I think that people who buy shoes from Tom's feel really amazing with themselves. They are probably thinking when they put on their new shoes, "I bought a nice pair of shoes today. Not only that, I helped a kid in need today. Wow! I'm officially a good person!" That feeling must be astonishing. I also think that more people should make companies like Tom's. If people did that, the world would be a much better place.

Wow! Toms is an amazing company. Not only did Blake succeed in the money part of his company, he also mixed in a little bit of giving into it. He wanted to change the world, just like our class, and he succeeded. What better way to change the world than to create a company that gives a pair of shoes and glasses to people in need of them every time they sell one. Blake started out small, just like our class will by doing something small each day. Blake started by going to a couple countries, Then, his country advanced and he got to 59 countries and gave 10,000,000 pairs of shoes. He is also setting a goal, he wants to give 10,000,000 more pairs of shoes in the next 18-24 months. That's only about 2 years. Blake wants to accomplish what he accomplished in 10 years in 2 years. Also, Blake helped restore vision for 150,000 people in 13 countries. Blake didn't just want to help people with no footwear, he was also passionate in helping people restore their vision. This started in 2011. Our class can change the world, just like Blake did!

the toms company is a good example because it gives back to people in need so others should use this for their later helping.

Everyone needs shoes! that's why TOMS will give away one pair of shoes for every one pair they sell. That way, the more TOMS sell, the more they give away. It was founded in 2006. In that year they went to Argentina and there was a lot of kids that needed shoes. They go to a lot of different countries around the world and gave away around 10 million pairs of shoes in 59 different countries. He named it TOMS because he wanted to make it Tomorrow's Shoes, but that didn't fit on the tag, so he shorted it to TOMS. Kids couldn't go to school because they couldn't afford shoes and sometimes people get foot diseases, so TOMS gives shoes away. They go back to different countries every 3-4 months to give people new shoes. They expect to sell 10 million more shoes in 18-24 months. Doing nice things can also be good for business.
