TOMS One Day Without Shoes 2013: A barefoot concert by Imam Baildi

Yesterday was the barefoot concert of Imam Baildi, organized by TOMS.

One Day Without Shoes is held for the third consecutive year in Greece, thanks to the global initiative of TOMS to improve the lives of children in need.

The TOMS along with the band Imam Baildi staged a barefoot concert in the center of Athens.  Vicky Kaya and her students of the Fashion Workshop dragged all the guests and passers by to take off their shoes and to dance barefoot!

More than 500 people gathered at the grey building at Agia Eirini Square and danced to the music of Imam Baildi!

One Day Without Shoes is a global movement that aims to inform and raise public awareness, and to improve the lives of poor children as you could read in a previous post.

Here some photos of the event.

The same day around the world, people organize events without wearing shoes and inform why shoes are important for a better tomorrow.
