The idea spark

In 2008, a man who was traveling for business, thought of a question one night while in his hotel room, and called the front desk. He asked, “What happens to the leftover soap?” The response was that it was thrown away.

Shawn Seipler started looking at some numbers:

-millions of bars of salvageable soap were going to waste.

– thousands of young children were dying from hygiene-related illnesses every day globally

– studies showed that regular hand washing could cut those deaths in half.

Based on his research, Seipler felt compelled to do something, and when he got home he put his idea to action.

Bill Rosenberg was nine-years old. He often tagged along to work with his dad, who owned a grocery store in Boston.

Bill set up a stand in front of the store.

And he stood there. And stood there. And stood there.
