Clean the World What an incredible journey! Last week, Clean the World’s leadership team traveled on a Missionary Flights Inernational (MFI) DC-3 cargo plane to Cap Haitien, Haiti. It was our second major soap distribution to the impoverished island. The non-pressurized, non-air conditioned flight path took us directly over the Bermuda triangle. Nothing to fear though as the …
Pop in the Willie Nelson CD, because we are on the road again today! This time we’re prepping for our Sept. 8-10 soap distribution in Cap Haitien, Haiti. We have 200,000 bars of soap packed into a 26-foot truck donated for the day by our buddies at Penske Truck Rental, and we are pointing the …
Our news story that ran locally in Orlando is being run in New York tonight, August 7 on FOX 5. This is big exposure for our cause. If you are in New York, look for it on the 5pm news! http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ctwf
Transporting soap is pretty easy. Right? After all – it’s light, compact and easy to pack. Well, I guess that’s true if we wanted to carry a hundred bars to a different part of the world. I could fit that much in a carry-on. Each bar weighs around 4 ounces, so that would be about …
Obviously we are passionate about saving lives with soap. But we get even more stoked when we can share our story with others and see them develop the same enthusiasm. And that’s how it played out after we met Jolie Schamber back in May when she and her family stepped into our booth at Orlando’s …
Central Florida Future – Pageant promotes Earth Shared via AddThis http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ctwf
I just received a call from Shawn with an update on Jolie Schamber in her quest to be crowned the national Miss Teen Earth. I am ecstatic to report that out of a field of 60 contestants, Jolie has WON the pageant event and has officially been crowned Miss Teen Earth USA. As you all …
Do you have any idea how much space would be taken up by 5 million bars of soap? How many trucks would be needed to move it? How much warehouse space it would occupy? Neither did I — until I started doing the math on the number of boxes that would be involved, the size …
Can I please get an “AMEN” from anyone who was watching the 10:00 news on FOX 35 in Orlando last night? Aw yeah … that’s what I’m talkin’ about 🙂 Less than a week after we returned from Haiti, the local FOX affiliate ran a story on our Orlando-based charity. But there’s no sense in …
Humbled … and hopeful. Those are the two words that came to mind as I listened to William Lowry describe his experience delivering our first load of recycled soap to Haiti. William is the founder and executive director of Central Care Mission in Orlando, the organization with which we formed a deep partnership to handle …
Some soap has already been distributed at an orphanage, but the majority will be handed out tonight at the large worship service. Here are a few pictures from yesterday’s flight and our arrival in Cap Haitien: http://picasaweb.google.com/johnterry64/CTWHaitiJuly792009?feat=directlink http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ctwf
I hope you had a great Fourth of July, and that you were able to kick back, relax and enjoy time with family and friends. But while many of us were barbecuing and hanging out with loved ones over the three-day weekend, the Clean the World operations staff was working overtime to make sure we …
For the past few months we’ve been working with hotels to bring them into our partner network. We have dutifully collected soap and shampoo on a weekly basis. And we perfected our sterilization and packaging techniques. We’re proud of our very meaningful soap and shampoo deliveries to homeless shelters and other domestic destinations — but …
Our list of contributing hotel and resort partners continues to grow every day. Once we collect soap from the hotels, the next step is to turn around the product and get it into (and onto) the hands of the people who need it. So after defining the protocol of our sterilization, recycling and packaging process, …
We are grateful for the many Central Florida Marriott hotels that have become valuable Clean The World partners, and we’re excited about the growth opportunities as we team up with other Marriott properties locally and across the United States. In recent weeks, we have engaged with Residence Inn Orlando Sea World, Residence Inn Orlando International …
Yesterday’s Earth Day celebration in downtown Orlando was a major success for CTWF. We had hundreds of people stop by our booth, all of which were genuinely interested and appreciative of our soap recycling efforts and our goal to save lives by promoting handwashing. We handed out over 500 bottles of bubbles to children, signed …
Don’t forget the Central Florida Earth Day celebration is tomorrow at Lake Eola from 10am-6pm. There will be two live band stages, an environmental education section, kids activity zone, and eco-friendly panel discussions. Oh, and don’t forget about all of the vendors selling their eco-friendly wares and tasty food! We will be accepting donations for …

Sheraton Suites at the Orlando International Airport became a participating partner of CTWF today bringing the total number of hotels donating discarded soap and shampoo to nine. http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ctwf
We had a great meeting today with the assistant general manager of Hawthorn Suites at Orlando International Airport, Mercedes Ithier-Rivera. At around 10 am five members of CTWF barged into the hotel with her Participating Partner plaque in hand and Mercedes was there to welcome us with open arms. Bobby, our videographer, captured some wonderful …
Today CTWF gave approximately 400 pounds of donated shampoo to the Central Florida Hospitality and Lodging Association’s (CFHLA) drive to provide homeless students in Central Florida with every day supplies. Items being collected included essentials such as soap, deodorant, combs, shaving cream, toothpaste and band-aids. According to CFHLA Cares, the charitable arm of CFHLA, there …
CTWF is rapidly getting things together for the Central Florida Earth Day event, May 2nd at Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando. The event, which is geared toward an eco-friendly lifestyle, will feature over 285 vendors who cater to organic, vegan or earth-friendly products or services. There will be several guest speakers discussing a variety …
A recycling breakthrough this week allowed the CTWF operations team to produce a smoother bar of recycled soap, similar to bars found at local grocery and drug stores. These more favorable looking bars will allow CTWF to explore donation opportunities within retail channels both domestically and abroad. Here are some tips to consider when rebatching …
Last night we attended the HSMAI Spring Fling at Blue Martini. It was mentioned that this event was their first after hours social in years and they did not disappoint. I had never been to Blue Martini before and discovered it to be a beautiful bar attached to the Mall at Millenia. There I met …
