Metro Romania
Realizing the need to provide practical help, especially in the bitter winter cold, Metro Ministries created the Warm Feet Project. One of the most pressing needs for children in Romania is proper shoes. When gypsy children outgrow their shoes, they have to cut the ends off of the shoes so that they can continue to wear them. This provides little protection for their feet against the harsh winters. So every year, Warm Feet aims to provide thousands of children with socks, shoes and boots to withstand the elements.
