That bar of soap you used once or twice during your last hotel stay might now be helping poor children fight disease.

Derreck Kayongo and his Atlanta-based Global Soap Project collect used hotel soap from across the United States. Instead of ending up in landfills, the soaps are cleaned and reprocessed for shipment to impoverished nations such as Haiti, Uganda, Kenya and Swaziland.

All those old, barely used bars of soaps can be put to good use.

Hmm .. Although I use my personal soap to the max, there is a point where I toss it. Wish there were a way to donate those instead. Neat concept!
