playground. This is the third playground that dōTERRA has donated to
local Bulgarian community centers. Beyond the playground, Wellness
Advocates volunteered for a day at the Milk Canteen, an organization
that provides meals to families with children between the ages of one to
three at a subsidized cost with help from dōTERRA. Workers there
estimate that they serve between 500–1000 children a day. The
experience then finished off with dinner made by youth at the nonprofit
organization, the Social Teahouse, which the dōTERRA Healing Hands
Foundation helped refurbish in early 2016. The Social Teahouse works
to help orphaned children learn personal and professional skills that
help them leave the orphanages with access to the labor market.
Making it Possible
The volunteers took some time to go to the Bulgarian Esseterre
Distillery, the operation that makes all the efforts to build up Bulgaria
through industry and humanitarian projects possible. The distillery
currently produces Lavender, Melissa, and Frankincense essential
oils for dōTERRA.
Sarah Wimmer, a Wellness Advocate from Arizona, says of her
experience, “It is amazing to see the whole process of creating an oil,
and the care and precision that goes into each step of the process.
From the field to the lab, dōTERRA has set a high expectation and
standards of excellence that will only allow for the best of the best
to be produced. I am honored to have been on this trip and to be a
part of a company that gives back so much to communities.”
