In this episode Mel talks with Penny from the charity ‘I Got Shoes’. Penny outlines the journey her husband Gary and herself have been on since starting I Got Shoes during the COVID pandemic. Amazing stories of their work in Uganda and how providing shoes for 1 child is a stepping stone into education, breaking the cycle of poverty and improving the health of a generation.
