Blunt, but excellent article on "bad aid". Be encouraged in the ways you support The Elevation Project, all the research shows that hope is restored and lives are changed when someONE is valued, rather than someTHING. Don't be ashamed if you've supported one of these projects, your heart was in the right place! We have all been there. Get educated, give wisely. With gratitude and blessings, The Elevation Project Team

TOMS One Day Without Shoes - Marketing Day for Bad Aid

Today is the TOMS "One Day Without Shoes," billed as "TOMS' annual day to bring global awareness to children's health and education by going without shoes." In reality, it's a day for the ignorant and privileged to pat themselves on the back for buying shit and "saving" the helpless brown children that they see in their heads. 

Here (http://goodintents.org/in-kind-donations/toms-shoes) is a great analysis of TOMS' capitalistic form of aid.

Maybe we should take today as an opportunity to raise awareness of the negative impacts of TOMS and their form of aid.

I was looking for an article about toms shoes specifically, (from an established news source) but this does make the argument well.
