Palace of Catalan Music Barcelona The Palace of Catalan Music in Barcelona is a quite young opera house founded in 1891.

Kimball High School in Oak Cliff, Jesse Acosta finds most of his students are from low-income households, so they often end up wearing shoes that are falling apart. “In my very first year as a teacher at Kimball, I had a student and when he would walk, his sole (鞋底) would just come apart from the rest of the shoe,” Jesse said. “The only part that was still glued was the front of it, right by the toe area.” To make matters worse, sneaker culture is huge at the school. This was the case even when Jesse was a student. Although expressing oneself through sneakers is fun and harmless, sometimes those who are unable to participate end up getting bullied (欺凌). Although Jesse was aware of this problem, he knew it would take a lot to find a solution. That’s why in 2020, he spent time designing a plan. He even had the perfect partner to help him: his girlfriend, Alejandra Zendejas. As a math tutor and “sneaker nerd (呆子),” as she calls herself, she could not be a better person to turn to. To find the best shoes they can, Jesse and Alejandra shop at places like Nike with a budget of $30 per pair. It’s not easy, but these two spend the time that’s needed to hunt down outlet stores that often have huge discounts. At first, they bought shoes with their own money. Later they started a nonprofit called Pasos for Oak Cliff. Now that their nonprofit has gained so much attention, they’re able to purchase shoes through donations and a grant (补助) from Amazon. They’re also planning on giving away $10, 000 in college scholarships to Oak Cliff students. Best of all, they’re still expanding!
