Shoemaker Francis, affectionately known as Facebook Francis to our extended Happy House family, runs a successful little business in Watamu making handmade sandals and leather goods.
He's always been very supportive of Mama Sue's work in his village and now he is extending his range of shoes to include black leather school shoes, again made in his workshop.
He has kindly donated the first three pairs to our kids and shown off here by Francis and Oscar.
Mama is very impressed with the quality and workmanship and planning to buy from him in the future as we know he will always give excellent service and a good deal.
I have already told Mama that I will send the money for new shoes for my little Pendo when she needs them and I am sure other sponsors would be happy to do the same for their special child. Not only are we helping our children, this way we are also supporting a local business.
