Charity to donate dumped sandals
Updated on 05 January 2009
A US charity group has stepped forward to collect thousands of shoes mysteriously dumped on a Miami-area highway and will send them to the impoverished Caribbean nation of Haiti.
Soles4Souls, a Nashville, Tennessee-based charity, is sending representatives to Miami to collect the shoes. The group will distribute them to people in Haiti, according to a statement.
The Florida Highway Patrol said thousands of work boots, bath slippers, tennis sneakers, beach sandals, even pairs of inline skates, inexplicably materialised on the busy roadway on Friday morning. Traffic was disrupted for hours.
