Healing Hands Foundation ™ in Bulgaria
These youth are also given access to internships, networking, and job opportunities that provide them with more access to the labor market. The goal is to prepare them to be able to develop careers, sustainable futures, and social integration when they enter society on their own. By learning the skills and competences needed, The Social Teahouse seeks to create a bridge to success between a child’ s time in the orphanages and their life after.
Earlier this year, the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation contributed a substantial donation to assist The Social Teahouse in completing the refurbishment and outfitting of their new head office, training facility, and operating teahouse. At this teahouse, the orphans are able to learn hands-on food preparation, catering, and business skills. The revenue they earn helps to cover costs for the training and mentoring initiatives of The Social Teahouse curriculum. The interns will
also learn skills linked to vegetable gardening, larger-scale farming, and distilling operations, in partnership with Esseterre, dōTERRA’ s new farming and distilling operation in Bulgaria.
The hope is to ultimately increase public awareness, create positive social engagement, and facilitate the opportunities that are much needed to alleviate the difficult transition that exists for far too many Bulgarian youth.
