The Pacha Soap crew is going to Peru.

In April, we wrote about the Hastings-based handmade soap company that is trying to “raise the bar” for business by using a buy-one, give-one model. And because Pacha Soap was inspired by a trip “Head Jaboñero” Andrew Vrbas took to Peru, their goal was to travel to the South American country to hand deliver soap, put on hand washing clinics for children and make a photo essay.

The company’s online crowdfunding campaign to raise money for the trip surpassed their expectations, earning nearly a thousand dollars more than their $4,500 goal. Pacha Soap is heading to Peru in early June.
