Ka Lā Hiki Ola – Dawning of a New Day! To support dōTERRA’s reforestation efforts in the Kealakekua Mountain Reserve (KMR) we got to plant Hawaiian sandalwood trees, which was meaningful and memorable for me! The KMR Reserve, coupled with management objectives, an extensive nursery and dōTERRA’s reforestation efforts, will all synergize to help sandalwood and other native Hawaiian species thrive once more. I feel that dōTERRA Cō-Impact Sourcing is a great effort to allow the sustainable harvesting of sandalwood without compromising our initiative to restore the forest to its original beauty. Our dōTERRA Founders also joined us in planting sandalwood trees, making this Cō-Impact Sourcing experience extra special for everyone. I really hope to be able to see the tree I planted fully grown and ready for distillation in 30 years. As I planted my sandalwood tree, thoughts came to my mind of how we should treasure every drop of oil, and how grateful we ought to be that we are part of a company with Founders that have sufficient vision to plan 30 years into the future. I have truly enjoyed and loved my dōTERRA journey over the past seven months and feel so blessed and grateful to be part of the management team. I look forward to supporting our Wellness Advocates as they unleash their full potential to achieve their dreams. This trip was an incredible experience for me. Not only have I gotten to be part of a growing wellness movement, I also got to understand and experience the great efforts that dōTERRA has put into its Co- Impact Sourcing initiative. Let us continue to share the goodness of essential oils and fulfill our mission to change the world one drop, one person, one community at a time. GERALDINE TOH General Manager dōTERRA Singapore Did you know? In order to distill the best quality Sandalwood essential oil, the wood needs to be harvested at the proper age of maturity. The best age to harvest Sandalwood is when the trees are 30-50 years old. doterra.com 19
