Global Goal 1: No Poverty
Global Goal 1 is introduced in our Global Goals Book Club through the book ‘Those Shoes’ by Maribeth Boelts. This story follows a young boy named Jeremy who dreams of having a pair of trendy shoes like his classmates, but his family can’t afford them. Through Jeremy’s journey, children learn about the realities of poverty and the importance of empathy, generosity and understanding. By reading and discussing ‘Those Shoes’ with your class, they will gain insights into the challenges faced by families with limited resources and are inspired to think about ways they can help and support those in need.
