We, in the USA, just spent a day with friends and family sharing a meal (even if it was over Zoom), celebrating our blessings from the past year. 2020 has been a wild ride, no doubt about it, but we all still have many reasons to give thanks. I'm not going to get on my soapbox and preach to you, I think you know the plethora of physical possessions and emotional blessings that are cause for us to give thanks, in multiple ways, many times over.
Today I want to share with you either a reminder or a peek at the wonderful work that the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation is doing and does year round. I'm sharing this because we should celebrate and give thanks for being apart of a company that allows us to be involved in all the good work they do. Simply by being a customer and using these amazing gifts of the earth you're already helping to make a global impact. Although I'm not sharing this message for you to do anything more, necessarily, I will share at the end how you can get involved and make a bigger difference than you already are.
The doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation (HHF) is an umbrella for several different non-profits that doTERRA partners with and supports. The HHF is 100% supported by doTERRA International - meaning they cover all the operating costs so that when you donate, every penny of it is going to the cause. Pretty amazing! The mission is to empower people and communities worldwide to make positive and sustainable change. Their vision is to promote sustainable change by supporting initiatives that alleviate extreme poverty, improve quality of life, and ensure basic human rights.
Current Initiatives:
Anti-Human Trafficking
Clean Water & Sanitation
Disaster Relief
Empowering Women
Global Health
Self-Reliance
Supporting Children
Current Co-Impact Projects:
The Milk Canteen, Bulgaria - serving warm meals and smiles daily
Sikaab'e Training Center, Guatemala - educational and vocational skills
Mobile Health Clinic, Madagascar - access to medical care
Kenya Water Projects - access to clean water
The Social Teahouse, Bulgaria - a place for youth
Building Stronger Schools, Nepal - earthquake recovery efforts
There are so many projects that the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation is working on that I can't possible get into the nitty-gritty of them. I encourage you to visit their website and browse around, you will be inspired and encouraged by all the good being done around the world.
As promised, although there are more ways to get involved, here are three easy ways to make a difference:
1) Existing customers click a box when placing an order to have $1 per donated to the Healing Hands Foundation. It may seem miniscule, but with over 10 million customers and growing, if even half of the customers donated $1 per month the doTERRA HHF would raise $5 million+ per month, now that's HUGE!
2) You can purchase 1 of 3 products (pictured below) - you get a wonderful product to use or gift and 100% of the proceeds goes to the Healing Hands Foundation.
3) Purchase 1, 4 or 20 Emergency Relief Hygiene Kits. These are $25 and each donated kit will be distributed on your behalf through doTERRA's partnerships with charitable organizations around the world. The kit contains: doTERRA Melaleuca Touch, Towel, Toothbrush, Adhesive Bandages, Deep Blue Rub, Shampoo & Conditioner, On Guard Toothpaste, and a Bath Bar.
If you're interested in pulling resources and buying 20 kits at one time, I'm happy to coordinate that effort. Reach out to me to discuss details. As always, I'm happy to answer any questions you might have, so don't be a stranger.
Thank you for being a doTERRA customer, that choice has a positive effect on a global level. And a special thank you, if you are part of the Wellness spOILed community. Your trust and confidence in me means the world!
