The “Shoes for Africa” project is near and
dear to the heart of board member, Amina Cisse Muhammad, who lived
with YES, Inc. founder Hajar Sall in Senegal. Her then 11-year old
son, Sirri, was hospitalized upon his return to the United States in
1995 because, unbeknownst to her, he had contracted a foot-worm
shortly before their departure. The doctor she took him to for
treatment was alarmed by the possibility of “some strange African
epidemic”. Against her wishes, he wanted to perform surgery until a
specialist identified the foot ailment as one common even in
America’s rural areas where children often walk and play barefoot in
dirt contaminated by the feces of farm animals.
