Students in science teacher Katherine Levensailor’s first period class made sandals with Amazon’s delivery cardboard boxes inside and outside of room 803, on Oct. 19 for children in Haiti, victims of natural disasters.
Haiti is still recovering from a catastrophic magnitude 7.0 earthquake that occurred in 2011 and Hurricane Matthew that claimed the lives of more than 877 people. These disasters left many children without shoes, causing them to have injuries such as cuts, sores, and infections on their feet.
The sandals made from this project were sent to Soles4Souls, an organization that “collects shoes and sends them overseas. They send them to places where people don’t have shoes and distribute them,” said Levensailor.
