My husband Anan & I have always wanted to make a difference & help others and last year we we were introduced to an amazing NEW company based in USA. This company is changing the way home-based business owners make money. They are also revolutionizing the ways charitable funds are generated, mobilized, and used to help solve many of the world’s humanitarian and environmental challenges efficiently.
It combines the power of network marketing-Direct sales with a contribution factor that is allowing us to help those who are not yet is the position to help themselves. I now have the opportunity of being able to combine my Entrepreneurial spirit with my desire to make a positive contribution to this world.
Since we joined in April 2010 we had such a strong desire inside us to BE more involved in philanthropic events on a more personal level. It has changed us in a way that is undescribable, we really know now that every little bit counts and that GIVING is very simple & rewarding. Last year, to celebrate my 40th birthday my husband Anan, 4 year old daughter Rhianna & I traveled to Bali for 3 weeks. It wasn’t like most a trip full of shopping, beaches & fancy hotels like many, it was so much MORE! During that time we traveled all over the island and in Changu we visited a childrens orphanage and we also visted the poorest villages in Lovina.
I bagged up ten kilograms of Rhianna’s smaller clothes, as well as some of her old toys, books & stationary items. We connected with the orphange prior to our departure and arranged a day to visit and meet the children. (some pics attached)
We were very fortunate to be escorted by some members of the ‘Helen Flavel Foundation’. These kind gentlemen drove us around to visit some really 3 poor families where we donated 25 kg of rice and also some clothes and toys for the children. It was a very humbling and emotional experience for me. I had tears. How lucky we are to live in Australia. these families lived in slums, there biggest investment was their pig. Yet they still greeted us with hugs & smiles. (pics attached)
I have learnt so much from this experience.
1. That is is very simple research on the internet and locate information and places in need of help.
2. Everyone wants to make a difference, you just have to have that strong desire and take action.
3. Through being aligned with this company I have become a better person, a more giving person.
4. You learn to become GRATEFUL and appreciate what you have.
5. My 4 year old has learnt so much more about Bali and its culture. Bali was her 9th country to visit. Your children can too!
6. We are leaving a great legacy for our child and what amazing values we are teaching her.
7. When travelling, don’t stick to the normal touristy schedule, be courageous and really SEE how the people LIVE!
8. When you really learn more about the culture, you respect it more.
9. We never complain about food anymore, I am grateful to have 3 meals a day
10. I will give more whenever I can, not only when we travel, because giving is so rewarding & and we are spreading love & happiness and more importantly we are touching someones LIFE!
Mother Theresa says “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one.”
We are going to Israel & Thailand in April 2011 where we will once again give back to those less fortunate and make a difference.
And our big goal set for next year, we will travel the world with our portable home business and make a difference wherever we go!
