THE GLOBAL SOAP PROJECT collects soap from hotels across the country that would usually get discarded. The soap then is cleaned, melted back into bars, and distributed throughout the world to places where soap is a luxury item.
Tropicana Evansville will announce their participation in THE GLOBAL SOAP PROJECT at a Press Conference on Friday, October 11, 2013 at 10:30AM in the Tropicana Hotel Lobby. The founder of THE GLOBAL SOAP PROJECT, Mr. Derreck Kayongo, will be present to speak about the organization and Tropicana’s involvement.
The Evansville African American Museum brings Mr. Kayongo to our community as the featured speaker at the Fifth Annual Colour of Humanity Gala on Friday, October 11. The Gala will be held at Tropicana’s Executive Conference Center.
Tropicana Evansville General Manager, Ward Shaw, is pleased with Tropicana’s participation, saying, “With nearly 350 hotel rooms, our guests leave behind plenty of used bars of soap. The Global Soap Project will allow our amenities to extend beyond the pleasure of our guests and help those who are in need.â€
To illustrate Ward Shaw’s point, a week’s worth of used bar soap from the Tropicana Hotel and the Le Merigot Hotel will be on display at the Press Conference.
