A few months ago, the Academy at the Lakes Key Club discovered an organization called Clean the World. Clean the World’s Mission is to “Collect and recycle soap and shampoo products discarded by the hospitality industry every day, and through the distribution of these and other donated hygiene products to impoverished people, prevent the millions of deaths caused by hygiene-related illnesses every day.” (http://www.cleantheworld.org) Every year more than five million children die from diseases such as diarrhea and acute respiratory disease that could otherwise be prevented if they had something as simple as bar of soap. Clean the World collects soap from participating hotels that would otherwise be thrown away. Our Key Club got involved and we have been collecting soap from our Academy community. Last Saturday a few of the officers, Senora Febles, and Mrs. Crowley went to their headquarters in downtown Orlando to deliver the soap that we had collected. While we were there, we were informed about their brand new recycling techniques and facility. We worked for a few hours helping with the initial cleaning process of the soap which they received from various hotels around the country. Clean the World is a fairly new organization but Key Club is very excited for the future of our projects with Clean the World and we hope to excel in future soap collections.
