Tibet Snow is a great idea Alanna!

Soap, shampoo, things you can take from a hotel. Zimbabwe currency has no value, so buying things like this becomes absolutely impossible.

Your volunteers will need free soap to hand out. Maybe a corporate sponsor? Tibet snow? When I was in Central Asia, handwashing was a hard sell because people didn’t want to spend the money for soap.
