Clean The World Charitable Organization

Well, I learned something new today and now I know exactly where my odds and ends are going to go.  Read on:


Dear soap maker,
A 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides much-needed soap to the third world, “Clean the World,” has asked me to mobilize the handmade soap community. The need for soap in Haiti is great.
Without hand washing, the broken sewers, plumbing, and toilets in Haiti will lead to diarrhea-related bacterial infections, which sadly effect children the most and lead to 5 million deaths annually. You can help!
All soap is rebatched by Clean the World before distribution, so you can send cold process, hot process, handmilled, melt-and-pour, even half-used bars as well as shampoo (opened or unopened) to:
Clean the World
8026 Sunport Dr. #306
Orlando FL 32809
The soaps do not need to be labeled in any kind of way (ingredients, type of soap, etc.). Please include a brief note with your contact information explaining that you’ve donated handmade soap and whether you’d like a receipt for your taxes.

Name this soap

Well, I fell off the blog wagon...sorry about that.  Just trying a little of everything to try to get my soaps out there and break into this saturated market.  I've got soaps in a busy craft mall, in a hair salon, sold some wholesale to a boutique, and have shops on Etsy and Bonanzle.  Any suggestions out there, soapers?  Oh, I also have appointments with a couple of wineries interested in carrying them.

Ok, so I got in the mood to make another wild swirl.....the lye ate my scent so it is basically unscented.  I think maybe Wild Child.....what do y'all think?
