In time of corona virus, washing hands frequently has never been more relevant. And what if washing hands could also help improve our planet and do good? Well, we at Smart Way To Start believe there has never been a better time to make smart choices, so here is a product that we endorse whole-heartedly, to support a small business and do good in these difficult times. And we try to do so cheerfully with a little set of rhymes. Enjoy!
A SMART CHOICE TO MAKE: Marty & Abhati…
You learnt in book four that the choices you make
should be pondered wisely, for all nature’s sake.
What are the things that we do every day,
that we could all do in an impactful way?
Let’s start with basics like washing our hands:
there’s something important you must understand.
What if each time that you used your soap
you’re helping poor girls and giving them hope?
Whenever you purchase a soap by Abhati
you’re buying a product that’s much loved by Marty:
Some of your money helps “Educate Girls”
and all of their business helps improve our world.
Abhati’s a word that in Sanskrit means “Shine”!
The name is as good as the scent: it’s divine!
Washing your hands could not be more fun
when you know all about the good deeds you’ve done!
Whether it’s soap for your hands or your hair,
you’ll have an impact! It’s great that you care!
For each product sold, a girl goes to school.
How awesome is that? Don’t you think that’s cool?
If that weren’t enough, then wait, there is more:
Abhati is helping the planet, for sure!
They only use natural sources, you see.
They’re made with respect for the forests and trees.
they’re conscious our planet needs regeneration,
they work with their farmers to spread this vocation.
Producing with care the ingredients they use,
limiting waste and avoiding refuse.
And all of the farmers who grow all the trees
or plants that are needed to make soaps like these,
are all paid correctly and the trading is fair.
Would you want anything else in your hair?
So this is the story of soap we adore.
Now we love washing ourselves so much more:
respectful of nature in every way,
supporting young Indian girls every day.
Abhati says "One hand washes the other."
This makes me think of the words of my mother:
“Do a good deed and it comes back to you.”
So let’s do more good! Will you join us too?
