The web site is up! Thanks to Carly and Josh of Design Oomph (http://www.design-oomph.com/) for being great partners. Yesterday was a big day for The DC Soapery. We participated in a wonderful fundraising event by donating over $500 dollars worth of soap products and services to The Pan American Liaison Committee of Women's Organizations, (PALCO).
PALCO, together with the Organization of America States (OAS) and the Ministry of Education in Peru, hosted an event on Saturday, April 9th, 2011. The event raised funds for disadvantaged, disabled children in Peru, SA. Many young children who cannot walk are often carried to school by their mothers. Once the children become too big to carry, they have no choice but to stop attending school because they have no other means by which to travel back and forth to school. The funds raised yesterday were donated to a wheelchair manufacturer in Peru, to provide wheelchairs for some of these children.
PALCO's event was full of beautiful items donated by many different retail stores and other organizations. In addition, the entertainment was spectacular. We are very honored and proud to have participated in this event and support PALCO in this noble cause.
