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.
Step into another world to learn about Florida’s sea life during a nighttime seagrass wading trip into Lemon Bay with the Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center in Englewood, Fla.
Some people choose to run with the bulls. I chose to swim with the bull sharks! My experience with Florida Shark Diving out of Jupiter, Fla., was JAWESOME! I needed a little adrenaline rush in my life and this trip on April 1, 2023, yes, April Fool’s Day, was perfect.
What happens when your Crystal River kayaking trip is rained out? As I learned, “seas” the day and head to the Mertailor’s Mermaid Aquarium Encounter in Lecanto, Fla.
