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 .
