Hello everybody..
Today I'm gonna talk to you about an event that took place here last week
in April 5
it was Tuesday
this event was sponsored by TOMS shes
under the name "One Day Without Shoes"
I got the invitation long time ago
and I were'nt exited to this event
but I RSPVed with yes
two days before the actual event
the event showed up again on my Facebook page
so I went to see whats this event actually about?
I found out that TOMS shoes creat this event once a year
named One Day Without Shoes
with that they spread an awareness to the world about what is happening
what is happening is that the childern in Africa
they get some diseases, because simply they don't wear shoes!
and one of the ways to fight these diseases is to wear shoes
and when you buy pair shoes from TOMS
they take another pair of shoes to give it to these children
so, how for this to do with us?
when we participate on this event
TOMS give us the chance to live just one day of the daily life of these children
and to see how the life would be without shoes..
So its the event day.. April 5
I went out of my apartment without shoes
I went to the university
at the beginning it was difficult for me
as the night before it, it rain so bad
and it was 32F in the morning!
and it was cloudy too!
so there wasn't much of sun, which made it worse cold than it could been
also, most of the ground was wet, or/with freezed water
it was very hard experience for me
especially when I went to the university
there weren't that number of people how were barefoot
I'm almost sure that I were the only person how were walking barefoot in the early morning
but after that, the number increased
not that much of a number, but it wasn't too bad
I stood in one of the most crowded areas in the university, for an hour
only 20-25 people how had passed my walking barefoot
I won't say that I was shocked, with the little number of participants
I didn't expect that only a few number would do it
but I think the weather conditions did affect that
in general, the experience itself was new and interesting for me
and I learn some things from it..
at least I got to experience living one day that is every day for some people..
to live one day without shoes
to walk on asphalt, concrete sidewalk, wood, stones, and mistakenly on water or broken glass
you do experience a lot
and this is just one day!
not mentioning that some people might ignore your existence, when you walk barefoot
I received many different looks from many people
most can be read as "whats with this guy walking barefoot?!"
and you might not be able to go to some places too!
I were going to the food court in the university, and there were some people in the entrance kicking out anybody that was walking barefoot!
in the same day, as a part of this awareness you were supposed to explain to the people why are you walking barefoot
in that day, I had a doctor appointment
and I was thinking, shall I go barefoot or wearing flip flops
after a long thinking
I decided that i'll wear flip flops as they are easier to take off if I want to
so I went to the hospital and went to the front desk
and explained to them what I'm doing, and then asked them if I can take off my flip flops
said you can't, it's against the safety rules we have
I understood that and went with my "shoes"
until I reached the clinic that I'm visiting
aging in the front desk, I checked in, then explained to her about the one day without shoes, and how I'm not suppose to wear my shoes
so I asked again, "can I take off my shoes?"
she replied yes you can
after that the nurse came, and when she saw me coming barefoot, she asked me why you are not wearing your shoes?
I explained the whole thing for her and what TOMS does and why..
then I got her sympathy, and she said if I knew before, I could've participate
then when she left the room, I heard her talking to the other nurses about the event
and that's what happened with me that day in brief, and the experince I learned
even if I didn't buy a pair of shoes from TOMS, and didn't participate in this particular era
the major benefit for me when I got to live and experience this event
it is different when someone tells you about something, than if you did it yourslef
yes, we hear about how poor they are, and how they walk barefoot
then we get some sympathy for them
they cannot offer to buy a pair of shoes
but when you get to live an experience this yourself
when you go one day without shoes, and feel just one day that is every day for them, they go without shoes
and they experience more than the situations I had faced today, and I'm sure more
yes it was one day, but I learned a lot from it
last but not least, I did some interviews with some people how have participated in this event
I record what they have got out of it, and how did they feel about it
and what did they learned, and how they did know about this event
I hope you like it
God willing, next year, I'm palning for this day to be big
well prepared, especially here in the university
such an event can be more beneficial to these children
hopefully next year, it will be better
Thanks for watching
دريت عن هاليوم عن طريق الفيسبوك صراحة
انا داعم لمحلات TOMS وللحملة هذي خصوصا
جاتني الدعوة قبل الحدث بشهور
وكنت شاركت فيها السنة الماضية بعد
لكن هالسنة تعلمت ان مش كل الناس تدري وش السالفة
محد يدري ان في ملاين الأطفال يعيشون بدون جزم والألاف يموتون يوميا والسبة انهم مش لابسين جزم
انا طلعت من غرفتي بدون جزمة
وكانت الحراة 60F او احسن اليوم اللي قبلها
فـ قلت لنفسي إن شاء الله ماعندك مشكلة..
لكن يوم اني طلعت من الشقة إلا هي بال 40F
كان من جد برد..
وكانت صدمة بالنسبة لي..
بصراحة شعور جميل لما تمشي حافي..
خصوصا لما تحس انك تنشر وعي
وانك تعيش الدور اللي هم فيه كل يوم
و في نهاية اليوم تحس انك سويت شي مفيد..
اهلين
دريت عن اليوم هذا السنة الماضية
وكنت مشاركة فيه
والسنة هذي كنت متحمسة اني اشارك فيه بعد مرة ثانية
لأنه حدث مفيد وتوعية نحتاجها
واحس انه شي مفيد لي اني اشعر بالناس الثانية ووش يسوون في ايام حياتهم العادية
صحيت يوم الثلاثاء الصباح وتجهزت، وتركت البيت بدون ما ألبس جزمة..
كان شعور غريب لن الممشى اللي عند البيت مش ولابد
كله حصى، لا وبعد بارد
بعدين طلعت امشي بالمواقف.. وكانت كلها حصى.. اللي خلاني فعلا اعيش الدور
الدوام كان غير.. ناس واجد كانت تطالعني.. وناس اكثر كانت تسألني
اسئلة كثيرة طول اليوم.. بس كان الموضوع يستاهل كل هذا
اعتقد اسوء ما في الموضوع كان الحصى! خصوصا لما كان بارد!!
لكنها كانت تجربة مرة مفيدة
لأن هذا اصلا الشي اللي يمرون فيه الأطفال هناك كل يوم
وممكن يمرون في حالات أسوء
غير الدرج والأرضيات المختلفة، ما احتجت اني امشي على اشياء وصخة.. زي ماهم يمكن يصير لهم
كان الشعور جميل بشكل عام
لكن صعب في نفس الوقت.. لكن تعلمت انها ممكن تكون اصعب بـ١٠٠ مرة في دول مختلفة..
اعتقد انها سبب جيد للمشاركة.. وانا حبيتها صراحة..
شاركت في اليوم بدون جزمة اللي سوته تومز
دريت عنه عن طريق الفيسبوك..
جاتني دعوة من وحد ماهي مسيحية.. وهالشي هو اللي حفزني اني اشارك!
فـ طلعت بدون جزمة، وكان الشعور غريب..
لأن المشي على المماشي والشوراع كان صعب!
لكن الشعور كان مختلف، اقدر اقول اني حسيت بالحرية اكثر
متعود اني اخذ راحتي بالجزمة بالعادة..
لكن حافي رحت امشي على العشب، ولعبت تنس بدون جزمة وكان الشعور غير! وفلة
وخلاني اتخيل نفسي كأني في قديم الزمان..
لما نبي الله عيسى ـ عليه السلام- كان في الأرض
كانوا حافين!
صح انهم كانوا يمشون على الرمل، أكيد انه اسهل لهم..
لكني تعلمت
ممكن انك تسوي اشياء ثانية ولسى تبقى مسيحي..
مش لازم تروح وتصفق الناس بالكتاب المقدس..
لكن ممكن تسوي أشياء بسيطة تعلم الناس فيها مين انت..
في طرق كثيرة أن الواحد يجذب الإنتباه..
واعتقد حملة محلات تومز من افضلها!
علشان كذا شاركت فيها..
انا دريت عن الحملة هذي عن طريق بعض ربعي اللي عندهم جزم تومز..
وقالوا لي ترى في هالحملة اننا نطلع يوم كامل بدون جزم علشان الأطفال اللي ماعندهم جزم..
حسيت ان الموضوع جذب انتباهي وانه شي جيد واني ممكن اجربة
يوم الثلاثاء
صحيت وتجهزت للدوام بس مالبست جزمتي
ونزلت من غرفتي.. رجولي على الأرض الباردة كانت من اكبر الصدمات!!
ما توقعت انها بتكون بهالبرودة!!
بعدين كان لازم امشي من غرفتي للملعب! يعني مشي واجد!
تقريبا بعد ثلاث دقايق من المشي على الأرض الباردة
ما عاد احس برجولي!
وهالشي صراحة ساعدني في امتصاص اكبر قدر من الألم!
بإختصار.. هاليوم خلاني احس بالأطفال اللي ماعندهم جزم ويطلعون حافين كل يوم!
والأمراض اللي تجيهم..
وان بعضهم مايقدر يروح المدرسة والسبة انه ما عندهم جزم!
وكل الأشياء اللي اقدر اسويها مقارنه فيهم والسبة اني اقدر البس جزمة كل يوم الصباح..
بكذا كانت العملية تذكير جيد بالنعمة اللي الله انعمها علينا!
Thanks for watching..
