Karl Johnson, our local "Shoeman Project" coordinator and familiar face at Alpine Shop, saw firsthand how Shoeman benefits the world. The scope of their trip was to use deep well drilling to establish clean water sources for areas of Haiti that are limited in water and more importantly, clean water. Areas he visited included Port Au Prince, where they installed a well for an orphanage, another well was installed in the town of Gonaives near a school of 300 children, and fixed several previously installed wells that had been unusable for months. All in all, 4 new wells installed and several old ones fixed, offering the little things we take for granted here in our country. All of this could be carried out because people were kind enough to donate their shoes to the cause.
