derreck kayongo is a businessman from an african country. he moved to the usa in the early 1990s. when he first arrived, he stayed at a hotel in philadelphia. he noticed that the hotel workers put a new bar(块) of soap in his room every morning, even if he had only used the old bar once. the hotel gave each guest a new bar of soap every day and threw away the used bars. kayongo was surprised to learn that many other hotels in the usa did the same thing. he thought that it would be better to collect the used soap and give it to poor people in developing countries. each year, many children in developing countries die from diseases(疾病) caused by bacteria. people can easily prevent such diseases by washing their hands with soap. in may, 2009, kayongo set up an organization called the global

bars with the same color and smell together. they heat bars and make them into new ones. finally, the organization takes the new soap to developing countries and hands it out to people who need it.

remember and people could dial it quickly. the very first 911 call was made on february 16, 1968 in alabama. today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the united states and many parts of canada. other countries may use other numbers. in great britain, its 959. if youre not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book. when to call never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. the only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt in danger right now! so call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc. when in an emergency call when you dial the 911 operator(接线员), its always ok to give out your information. speak slowly and clearly when you explain whats happening. what happened? where are you? who needs help? dont hang up (挂断)! if you have to call 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you its ok to do so, that way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast. a dog
