The DO Lectures is an ideas sharing event started in 2007 and run out of an old cowshed in Cardigan Bay, Wales. In Season 3 of the DO podcasts, entitled 'Dot Dot Dot', Gav Thompson chats to old DO Lectures speakers about how their story has changed or grown and evolved since they gave their original DO Lecture.

In the second episode of 'Dot Dot Dot' Gav talks to CJ Bowry, the founder of the charity Sal's Shoes. CJ literally stumbled across the idea to find new feet to wear her son's old shoes that he had outgrown but not outworn.

Sal's Shoes now collects outgrown children's shoes and matches them up with children around the world who may not have access to their own pair of shoes - and in most countries, having no shoes means you aren't allowed to go to school. To date they have found new feet for over 2.5 million pairs of shoes in 49 countries around the world.

It is a really powerful story of how one mum has made a massive difference to the world.
