Follow on Google News | Much-Needed Soap Donations for HaitiHelp non-profit agency "Clean the World" donate much-needed soap to the relief effort in Haiti. Hobbyists, donate homemade soap. Hotels, donate those once-used bars of soap and almost-full bottles of shampoo from your showers and sinks.
By: Staci Marquez-Nichols CleanTheWorld.org estimates that each year 5 million lives are lost due to conditions like diarrhea-related infection. Of course, children are the ones most susceptible to these preventable diseases. A little hand washing goes a long way! Clean the World was started by traveling business executive Shawn Seipler. He was sitting in his hotel room one night wondering what happened to all those bars of hotel soap that just get used once or twice.Together with friend Paul Till, Seipler developed a video and poster instructing hotel cleaning staff how to identify and store the gently-used soap and shampoo bottles. Once collected, the soap bars are shaved and steamed to ensure they are bacteria free. Then they are sent overseas. Send your soap donations to: Clean the World c/o Threads of Compassion 4625 Old Winter Garden Rd, Unit B7 Orlando, FL 32811 The soaps do not need to be labeled (ingredients, type of soap, etc), and they can be homemade, from a hotel, melt-and-pour soap, or shampoo. Please include a brief note with your contact information explaining that you've donated soap and whether you'd like a receipt for your taxes.
