Kind Soles Project
An initiative by Guyana’s First Lady Sandra Granger has donated over 2000 pairs of expandable shoes to the children of indigenous tribes in Guyana. The ‘Kind Soles Project’ will provide these to the children, making it it possible for them to walk long distances to school, so they can continue their education.
Caribbean Airlines continued its partnership with Guyana’s First Lady, Her Excellency, Mrs. Sandra Granger in 2019, to transport ‘Shoe that Grows’, in support of the First Lady’s Kind Soles project.
Through the ‘Kind Soles Project’ Mrs. Granger has donated over 2000 pairs of the expandable shoes to the children of indigenous tribes in Guyana, making it possible for them to walk long distances to school, so they can continue their education.
The “Shoe that Grows” is a sturdy footwear designed to expand several sizes and can last a child up to three years or more. On Tuesday September 17, representatives from the airline handed over several hundred pairs of the special footwear to Her Excellency, donated by the Crown Heights Lions Club of New York USA and other donors from the Diaspora.
Guyana is an important destination for Caribbean Airlines and the airline operates an average of six daily flights, including non-stop service between New York and Guyana with seamless connections to other Caribbean and North American destinations.
