Shoes That Grow

The day finally came for the girls to be fitted with the Shoes that Grow.  The step was to train the form IV girls on how to fit the shoes. They caught on very fast. 

Madam Phaustine, the principal, had identified the most-needy girls. The children lined up outside the library in groups of twelve. Madam Phaustine called them in, they sat on a chair and one of the Form IV girls fitted a shoe to their foot. You cannot imagine the excitement of having a new pair of shoes. The staff came in and asked if they can have a pair. We fitted the first 48 children and will fit more students next week. Madam Phaustine is going to take it slow so that no one can sneak a second pair of shoes.  It sure was amazing how quickly the girls, even the very little ones, learned how to adjust them to their feet. There are a lot of happy faces, and many expectant faces at St. Clare today.
