I'm hoping some of our readers are BIG fans of American Idol because I just had to say how exciting this week's show was! My top four favorites are still in the running for this year's winner. I'm cheering for the guy from Utah--what an amazing voice and adorable personality!
Freedom of Health Foundation
I am so fortunate to work for a company whose founder and president leads the way in giving back to the community, locally and globally. Young Living is very involved in humanitarian efforts through the Freedom of Health Foundation. Through this foundation, Young Living, its employees, and distributors can donate funds, supplies, and time to aid their local communities and also the global community. One of the projects Young Living has initiated is the building of a new school for the children of Chongon, a village in Ecuador near the Young Living Farm. Gary Young's compassion for these children is apparent in all that he does to bring a better quality of life for them. He has initiated the building project, as well as many other service projects, because of his deep desire to give back to others.
On my recent trip to Ecuador, I was able to visit the existing school in Chongon and see the site of the new school. Gary Young has been providing aid to the people in Ecuador for the past couple of years since he's lived there, and he would often come back and share with us his love for these people and his desire to improve their living conditions and educational opportunities.
Below is a photo of the existing school's block building, which has very few desks, tattered books, a separate outhouse without running water, and is lacking a cafeteria where the students can eat lunch. It's in stark contrast to the schools we have in the United States, where our children are provided with clean, air conditioned buildings, desks, lockers, new textbooks, computers, etc.
Young Living has purchased the land and donated thousands of dollars for the building of a new school, with new supplies and equipment as well. We encourage you to join us in donating to this worthy cause, and help us make a positive difference in the lives of these children.
(To donate to the Freedom of Health Foundation, please send checks payable to the foundation to the Young Living corporate office.)
I was impressed by more than just great performances on American Idol though. It was touching to see the impact people can have on others' lives when they contribute, donate, and offer humanitarian aid to those less fortunate. Generosity matters! American Idol's efforts to help the poorest people of the world are inspiring (Idol Gives Back), and we applaud all who are working to make the world a better place.
