<<0>> - I'm grateful to have a moment
<<2>> to send some warm greetings today
<<4>> from dōTERRA Headquarters in Pleasant Grove, Utah.
<<7>> Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
<<10>> for your continued efforts
<<12>> to bring hope and healing
<<14>> to others in Europe and across the world.
<<17>> So, Missy and Jürgen
<<18>> will now take a few minutes to highlight
<<21>> just a few examples
<<22>> of how Wellness Advocates like you
<<24>> are working with dōTERRA Healing Hands
<<27>> to empower positive, sustainable change.
<<31>> - This mission of ethical and sustainable sourcing
<<35>> is coupled with incredible social impact projects
<<38>> through dōTERRA Healing Hands
<<40>> in our sourcing regions.
<<42>> Amazingly, we do not stop there.
<<45>> Throughout the world, dōTERRA Healing Hands
<<47>> empowers people worldwide
<<49>> to make positive, sustainable change.
<<52>> This mission is achievable
<<54>> because dōTERRA naturally attracts
<<57>> the best people in the world
<<59>> who are already the change-makers
<<62>> and offers connected platforms
<<64>> to truly make change
<<65>> in our communities and across the globe.
<<68>> I continually grow more and more in awe
<<71>> when I meet with Wellness Advocates like you
<<74>> and see different examples
<<76>> of this pure love of humanity.
<<78>> We, as a collective whole,
<<81>> are an astounding force in all that is good.
<<86>> - It is remarkable to think that $45 million
<<89>> that has supported those in need over the past decade
<<92>> through the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation
<<95>> is just the tip of the iceberg.
<<97>> Millions more have been donated
<<99>> through dōTERRA Healing Hands initiatives in Europe
<<101>> and throughout the world.
<<103>> And that does not even begin to tell
<<107>> the full story of what has been accomplished
<<110>> through Wellness Advocates directly.
<<112>> In Europe, over the past two years alone,
<<116>> we added to that impact 450,000 $ in support of
<<121>> projects in various countries across Europe,
<<125>> focused on improving the human condition;
<<127>> from disaster relief to medical and food aid,
<<131>> mothers and children,
<<133>> education and trafficking prevention.
<<135>> The work that has been done
<<137>> in the past five years in Europe is quite remarkable
<<139>> and has supported seven areas of impact.
<<142>> We will talk about
<<143>> some of the projects in a minute,
<<146>> but before we do,
<<147>> we are excited to invite you to join us
<<150>> in the fight against human trafficking
<<153>> through dōTERRA's comprehensive HOPE model.
<<155>> - With your help, over the past five years,
<<158>> the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation
<<160>> has donated over eight and a half million dollars
<<165>> to several organisations in 15 countries
<<168>> that work to eradicate modern slavery.
<<171>> Add to this, the dōTERRA Healing Hands initiatives
<<175>> in markets like yours,
<<176>> and our impact is beyond remarkable,
<<180>> and we're just getting started.
<<182>> We have spent the past two years
<<185>> wiping away models that don't work;
<<187>> meeting with collaborative public and private partners
<<190>> who truly move the needle;
<<192>> collectively applying expertise;
<<194>> and trusting the process of evolution,
<<198>> as it leads to real solutions.
<<201>> Most importantly,
<<203>> we have been working with and listening to
<<205>> survivors and professionals
<<209>> and through their expertise,
<<210>> we continue to improve.
<<213>> All of this together,
<<214>> led us to launch the comprehensive model
<<217>> to fight human trafficking and child victimisation,
<<221>> and that is called HOPE.
<<224>> - Now, approximately 40.3 million people
<<227>> are enslaved worldwide,
<<228>> and that includes labour and sex trafficking.
<<232>> Now you can make a difference with dōTERRA in simple ways.
<<235>> Did you know that 100 % of your purchase price
<<239>> of dōTERRA Hope Touch
<<240>> goes directly towards the fight against human trafficking?
<<245>> In addition to purchasing Hope,
<<247>> you are invited to join the fight,
<<249>> to protect the vulnerable
<<251>> and restore the impacted.
<<254>> You can find out more
<<255>> at doterrahealinghands.org/hope.
<<260>> You might be interested to know
<<262>> that, in July, dōTERRA Healing Hands partnered
<<265>> with her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie
<<268>> to raise awareness on human trafficking
<<270>> and launch the HOPE Month ahead of the
<<273>> World Day Against Trafficking Persons
<<276>> on July 30th of 2021.
<<279>> dōTERRA Healing Hands has made a donation
<<283>> of 10,000 ₤ to the Anti-Slavery Collective
<<286>> founded by the princess.
<<288>> - Human trafficking has increased dramatically
<<291>> in Albania in the last 30 years,
<<294>> where women and adolescents in poverty
<<296>> are particularly vulnerable.
<<299>> Thanks to your Hope purchases,
<<301>> dōTERRA supports a youth programme
<<304>> in one of Albania's poorest and most isolated regions
<<308>> to enable them to gain knowledge and skills
<<311>> that will help them transition to adulthood,
<<314>> making them less vulnerable to human trafficking.
<<317>> dōTERRA is also working with a local partner
<<320>> to train social assistants in the region
<<322>> to increase their capacity, to rescue,
<<325>> to provide trauma support
<<327>> and to prevent human trafficking.
<<330>> Now, HOPE is just one of the incredible ways
<<334>> dōTERRA Healing Hands is making a difference in Europe.
<<337>> Thank you for purchasing Hope Touch.
<<340>> Earlier, Jürgen mentioned that
<<342>> we would get back to some of the other projects
<<345>> that we have been involved in nearby countries
<<347>> supported by your purchase of Rose Lotion.
<<350>> Now, don't forget that 100 %
<<352>> of the full sales price of Rose Lotion
<<355>> goes back to those in need.
<<356>> - Yes, and this year has already been very busy.
<<359>> Thank you for helping dōTERRA Europe empower those in need.
<<364>> As you remember,
<<365>> record rainfalls caused severe flooding
<<368>> in parts of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
<<370>> And deadly flash floods claimed many lives,
<<373>> displaced thousands of families
<<375>> and left many without access to drinking water,
<<378>> electricity and gas.
<<380>> The funds collected through the purchase
<<382>> of Rose Hand Lotion allowed us to help immediately
<<386>> and donate 60,000 € to nonprofits on the ground
<<390>> in those affected areas.
<<393>> In addition to that,
<<394>> Helping Touch, a nonprofit organisation founded and managed
<<398>> by European Wellness Advocates Leaders
<<400>> from across multiple downlines,
<<402>> recently collected 18,000 € in a fundraiser
<<406>> to help the flood victims,
<<407>> and they did this in less than two weeks.
<<410>> And dōTERRA Europe is matching that
<<413>> to bring it to a total of 36,000 €.
<<417>> This is such an amazing example
<<419>> of our Leaders working together to help people in need.
<<424>> dōTERRA Europe also donated and distributed
<<426>> over 100 care packages to Wellness Advocates,
<<430>> and Wholesale Customers
<<431>> who were directly impacted by the disaster.
<<434>> And we just recently expanded this outreach programme
<<438>> to those affected by the volcano eruption
<<441>> on the Island of La Palma.
<<443>> Early this year, dōTERRA announced
<<445>> its new Cō-Impact Sourcing project in Moldova.
<<449>> This project aims to harness
<<451>> the country's perfect conditions to grow aromatic plants
<<454>> while creating positive economic and social impact
<<458>> in the region.
<<459>> During Stronger Together Europe Connection,
<<461>> dōTERRA asked its audience to donate
<<464>> with a goal of raising 10,000 €
<<467>> to pay for a clean water project for a childcare centre
<<471>> in a remote area of Moldova.
<<473>> The response was overwhelming
<<475>> and resulted in donations of over 22,000 €.
<<480>> However, as we were planning
<<482>> to actually start the project,
<<485>> the government had stepped in
<<486>> and installed the new water purification system.
<<489>> Now this was unexpected,
<<490>> but it ended up being great news
<<492>> for the local community of Nicolaevca.
<<495>> dōTERRA is now investing the raised money
<<497>> in two new projects.
<<499>> One is the new football field for the children's centre,
<<502>> and the other one is installation of street lighting
<<505>> in the neighbourhood
<<506>> where during the winter months
<<507>> children walk home from school in the dark.
<<510>> - Thank you, Jürgen.
<<511>> There are so many incredible projects going on in Europe.
<<515>> Now let's look at some global projects
<<517>> that you've been involved in.
<<518>> In May of this year,
<<520>> dōTERRA opened the Sanaag Specialty Hospital
<<524>> located in Erigavo,
<<525>> the heart of Somaliland's frankincense
<<528>> resin harvesting region.
<<530>> Prior to its opening,
<<532>> many did not have any healthcare access
<<535>> because they could not travel over 12 hours
<<538>> to reach medical help.
<<540>> This full service hospital includes paediatric care,
<<544>> pharmacy service and community outreach services
<<547>> among other medical care.
<<549>> This first-class facility allows us
<<552>> to face the region's high infant and child mortality rate.
<<556>> It is overwhelming to think
<<558>> that within the first two months,
<<560>> the hospital treated 2,478 outpatients,
<<566>> completed 403 x-rays and 107 ultrasounds
<<570>> and performed 25 critical surgeries.
<<575>> - We invite you to join dōTERRA Healing Hands
<<578>> throughout the year.

<<598>> is one of the greatest gifts we can give.
