Singapore’s first of its kind barefoot walkathon, Bare Your Sole, returns for its 7th year on 30 May 2015. The event aims to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity Singapore for their community outreach programme, Project HomeWorks.
Project HomeWorks provides helping hands to the disabled and the elderly living alone who are unable to handle daily tasks like cleaning or keeping up with their medical appointments. Volunteer numbers have grown to almost 2000 since the project began, and now you can help out too by joining Bare Your Sole 2015!
Besides being a great bonding activity for families, participants can also take part in a bevy of fun-filled activities like carnival games, musical performances and even zip down a flying fox!
Here are 10 other reasons why you should take your shoes off and join in the fun:
For the guys, it’s also a good excuse to ask that cutie from Marketing out while showing your compassionate side. Note: that should really be the secondary reason why you’re going for the walk.
Get in touch with Mother Nature once again, feel the sea breeze in your hair and grains of sand between your toes. It’s easy to forget the wonders of nature after being stuck in the office or school five days a week, so set yourself free and answer the call of the beautiful wild.
The event is organised by Habitat For Humanity Singapore, a charity organization that serves low-income and disaster-stricken communities all around the region. Going barefoot puts you in the “shoes” of the less fortunate and lets you have a tangible taste of what they may go through everyday. You may still be donating the same amount of money, but it’s going to mean so much more to you.
Oh, here’s a video we filmed to help raise awareness for the walk!
So if you’re ready to make a difference and have some fun, sign up for the event at their official website here. You’ll get a complimentary event pack too with lots of goodies and free entry to Sentosa for the day.
