I usually teach for free twice a week at a school located in my village of origin, so I can help groom out the best out of the children being bride in such a rural settings, and that's where I met this guy, who happen to be a government worker in the school, unlike me who work as a free volunteer there.

During one of our discussions about movies, and he trying to send the movies from my phone to his, was how he got to know I'm a Shoemaking via the difference footwear images he saw on my phone, so he showed a sample of a Slippers he liked and ask that I help him make something that looks just like it.

So the next time I traveled back to the city, I immediately visit the market and purchase the materials need for his Slippers and other pending orders I've on ground, and below is the process of how I made the Slippers for him.

my sister worked in a shoe factory for 2 months and she quit today. I know it's not a job for everyone but what you are doing here looks a lot more fun and interesting, and I'm sure no one is yelling at you and ure not under pressure. These slippers look amazing 👏☺

Oh sorry sorry about your sister situation, it's not easy working under people, that's why I set up my own store and became my own boss.

Your principles are the same as mine, I am also a teacher who works as a volunteer every 1 week 3 days, and of course to face all of this we must be strong in all things, I hope you always get lots of message making shoes so that you can be successful there, the results the sandals you made are very neat
