Guatemala Update:
The lava flow from the Fuego volcano eruption ended just 1.5km from our distillery in Guatemala. This is where we source our Cardamom essential oil from. Our sourcing partners were on a plane with their family en route to France when the eruption occurred. You can imagine their gratitude for safety but also their grief for their employees and friends. They desperately want to be there to help and provide support.
All of the distillery employees have been accounted for. Sadly there have been 65 reported deaths in Guatemala as a result of the most recent eruption thus far. Many homes have been lost, families are misplaced, and there are significant health challenges due to smoke and ash inhalation in addition to the emotional havoc this catastrophe has created.
We are working with our local Wellness Advocates and sourcing partners to get aid to those in need near El Rodeo quickly. We have sent a large shipment of emergency relief hygiene kits, Lavender Touch, On Guard Touch, On Guard Sanitizing Mist, Breathe Touch, and a cash donation to purchase clean water in country.
Thank you for your kind and generous donations to the Healing Hands Foundation as well as your hygiene kit purchases. Your charitable contributions make it possible to provide immediate aid when devastation such as this happens. Keep Guatemala in your prayers!—E.W.
This is why we give to Healing Hands Foundation. Consider adding $1 or $20 to your next order. I’m grateful for dōTERRA and the partnerships we have in these countries through our co-impact sourcing, they have boots on the ground and can immediately have aide on the ground.
Blessed to be supporting and working with dōTERRA! Such an amazing company!
