The Tudors Blog

March 12, 2012 Fiona [<a href="/account/InHerShoesSHA" target="_self" title="InHerShoesSHA">InHerShoesSHA</a>] here from Self Help Africa,(Irish Charity No:6663; UK Charity No: 298830; we are also a non-profit 501(c) 3 organisation in the United States) Our objective is to offer long-term, sustainable solutions to eradicating poverty in rural Africa. We are currently supporting thousands of women across Africa, who are facing huge challenges on a daily basis to survive and feed their families. For more information visit <a class="external" href="http://www.changeherlife.org/selfhelp/Main/changeherlife-org_Home.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="www.changeherlife.org">www.changeherlife.org</a> / <a class="external" href="http://www.selfhelpafrica.org/selfhelp/Main/Home.asp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="www.selfhelpafrica.org">www.selfhelpafrica.org</a> . We recently approached well known artists and asked them to think about what it would be like to walk in the shoes of a rural African woman for a day, and we asked a number of VIPs (and their managers!) if they would consider donating a pair of shoes that would help to get our message across to the public. The Costume Mill in Dublin very kindly donated the black suede boots worn by Jonathan Rhys Meyers playing the role of King Henry VIII in The Tudors, and we are currently looking to auction them off to the highest bidder. You can see pictures of the boots on our Facebook page:<a href="https://www.facebook.com/inhershoesproject" target="_self" title="https://www.facebook.com/inhershoesproject">https://www.facebook.com/inhershoesproject</a> . If you are not in a position to bid but would still like to support the campaign, please click on the link and like the page and also read about more of our work at <a class="external" href="http://www.selfhelpafrica.org/selfhelp/Main/Home.asp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="www.selfhelpafrica.org">www.selfhelpafrica.org</a> Our In Her Shoes initiative will help us raise funds to support many more women who are desperate for our help. Thanks for your time, and if you would like to see any more photos or place a bid, please email me at fiona.kelly@selfhelpafrica.org . :-) SUBMITTED BY: MsSquirrly
