On Friday September 8, 2017, at the dōTERRA YOU global convention, the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation ® broke the GUINNESS WORLD RECORD ® for the Most Personal Hygiene Kits Assembled in One Hour. The previous record had been set in January of 2017 at 1,002 kits.
Jimmy Coggins, an adjudicator from GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS, oversaw the attempt, verified that all components made it into the kits, and counted the kits at the end. To actually assemble the kits, 10 separate items had to be collected and placed into bags. With over 300 volunteers helping assemble kits, the participants ran out of kit components at 36 minutes and 41 seconds. Together they were able to assemble 5,110 kits.
The assembled kits will be distributed during the dōTERRA Co-Impact
Sourcing ® Expeditions in Kenya, Nepal, Guatemala, and Haiti. What makes the kits even more special is the fact that every item in the kit is based on the feedback from the girls that use them— including fabric shields, liners, panties, wash clothes, soap, instructions, and a beautiful drawstring bag that can also be used for schoolwork. Each kit lasts three years and provides dignity and freedom to girls around the world.
