Rappahannock County schoolchildren are hoping children in Afghanistan will walk a mile in their shoes.

The two came up with an idea to have a used shoe drive to help put shoes on the feet of Afghan children and adults who are often barefoot in areas with no sewage treatment systems.
Their hope is to help the locals avoid foot infection with hookworm. Without shoes, both children and adults get reinfected after treatment, and the problem gets worse.
