“SOAP CYCLING” Parent-Child Sustainability Workshop

SOAP CYCLING is an NGO that aims at promoting sustainability and improving hygiene. It collects used hotel soap that would normally be discarded, reprocess it with the help of volunteers, and then distribute it to WASH NGOs in developing Asia. Some of the deadliest diseases such as cholera, tuberculosis, and diarrhea can be prevented by simple handwashing.

This summer SHTMAA will organize a fun and meaningful Parent-Child Sustainability Workshop with SOAP CYCLING. While parents work at scraping and sanitizing used soap for shipment to underprivileged communities, their children can learn about the importance of hygiene and sustainability. Kids will join in the action, helping to sort soap by color and shape. Next they will use powdered soap, food coloring, and their own imagination to create soap art (which they can take home for a souvenir). Finally, each child will receive a personalized certificate recognizing their participation.

Date: 19 August (Saturday)
Location: World Peace Centre, Kwai Hing

More details will be announced later and we hope to see you!
