  6. Our In Your Shoes program • We help to get in touch with all the primary and high schools by first • sending them an email to hear about their interest in our program. • We send them the information booklet that we have prepared to help • them to get organized and help them to develop ideas on how they • can run the program • We set two collection periods for them to choose from: 7 – 19 • September OR 5 -17 October • Once they have set the collection period, Kids Off the Kerb • coordinate the collection by a truck. • Aims: • To collect 10,000 pairs of schools during these two periods by getting as many school on board as possible. • To hope to collect sufficient shoes so that disadvantaged youths can be hired to sort the shoes.
