Recycled Used Hotel Soap Being Distributed to School Kids in Guatemala with Clean the World and Children International, May 2014
There’s nothing more precious than a kid’s genuine smile. I met amazing people during last month’s trip to Guatemala with Clean the World to distribute recycled used hotel soap and educate people about the importance of hygiene. Although I (still) don’t speak Spanish, I was reminded of the power of a smile in communicating.
Curious School Boy During Soap Distribution Trip to Guatemala, May 2014
As we entered a school in a Guatemala City suburb, kids immediately surrounded me when I pulled out my GoPro HERO3. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a monitor and didn’t have the WiFi connected to show them on my iPhone how it worked. But, I snapped their photos with my Canon Power Shot then showed them their photos. Their reactions are priceless!
Here’s a video with their reactions. So sweet!
Although the trip was with Clean the World, the in-country host was Children International.
Stay tuned for more on the trip.

Great stuff. I’ll have to check out the organization–I’m still looking for a way to volunteer in Cambodia around my current work schedule. Haven’t had any luck yet.
My dog Radcliff’s paws led the way through Colorado’s breathtaking landscapes—from the dramatic depths of Black Canyon to a whispering ghost town. Scenic drives along Guanella Pass and wildflower-chasing detours made this dog-friendly summer road trip a memorable blend of adventure, nature, and tail-wagging joy.
A colorful detour to Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, with my dog was a spray-painted celebration of Route 66’s legacy. Two new books honoring the highway’s upcoming Centennial will have you getting your kicks on Route 66.
How I prepared my senior dog for a road trip from Florida to Colorado, from sea level to the mountains. His mobility is a concern and Ultimate Pet Nutrition’s Mobility Renew chews is a solution. I share seven things for navigating higher altitudes.

I’m sure you’ll find a way!
