          As a result of your support for Target 5: Global Impact, we were able

          to ship 14 boxes on Saturday, for a total of 277 pair of shoes. We have
          since filled another box of 14 pairs, bringing the total to 291. In

          addition, as a result of your support, we were able to collect 105 pairs
          of glasses and donations are still coming. This effort will do much for
          preventing blindness and restoring eye-health in underdeveloped

          countries. The partnership with Soles4Souls and the Lions club will
          last for four years (at least), and Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc, has a goal of

          donating 500,000 pairs of shoes during the four year period. Your
          assistance with this collection will create entrepreneurial
          opportunities for underdeveloped countries. Your kind donations and

          support will provide basic essentials for families around the world and
          will guarantee a better life for those in need. To assist with this goal,

          EGO's goal is to ship 1,000 pairs per year, so we will continue to need
          all hands on deck. Our current plans to reach this goal are to have two
          annual sorority meeting shoe/eyeglasses drive (February and

          November) and two community shoe drives (Spring and Fall). My EGO
          Sisters Rock!! We help each other!!!
