Maybe your readers are interested in knowing that we'll be featured on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, on Sunday, January 24th. Of course we don't know if the RV scenes made the final cut, but we spent all week helping build a home. In addition, Soles4Souls donated over 1,000 pairs of shoes to the recipients family in Jamaica, so much of the story centers around our donation. The big, blue RV was there the whole time. Right now my husband and I are on a 20 city tour around the US, donating 1,000 pairs of shoes in 20 cities across the US. We asked the producers of Extreme Makeover if we could use our RV for the 'Bus Driver...Move That Bus!' scene, but they declined! ~ Silvana Clark, Sole Ambassador, Soles4Souls, Inc."
