I’ve been accused of being a cynic on more than one occasion. It is the automatic response that all is not as it seems, or something along those lines. I’m working on it… Moving swiftly along, during the beginning of October we were set to welcome a team of travelers from TOMS shoes, and our colleagues from Element USA. It was the beginning of the Element’TOMS board and shoe drop. It’s been a year ’or more’ in the planning from our side and apparently 2 years and some change from the good people across the Atlantic. Here is the concept. For every pair of TOMS shoes you buy, the benevolent people at TOMS will give, gratis, a pair of shoes to a child’person in need. You read that correctly the first time. Buy one, give one away. It’s called a One for One model, and TOMS seem to be pioneering a new way of doing things.
