On November 14th, 2010, it would be our last visit to the IDP Camp. We would be heading back to the States soon thereafter, to be home in time for Thanksgiving. One of the participants desired to bless a young boy she had grown quite fond of. He and his siblings had gone through a terrible predicament; both parents decided to call it quits and leave them stranded. He and his three brothers would now be raised by their preteen sister. This broke our heart, especially Lizzie. She decided to spend money on shoes for this young boy, so that he would have his first pair of new shoes, ever!

The video below is of Lizzie (of this Expedition team) giving Otto his first new pair of shoes. For the first time in his life, he got new shoes, not hand-me-downs.
