D. Gary Young's Humanitarian Aid
D. Gary Young has not only led his company, Young Living
Essential Oils, in generously aiding those in need throughout the
world, but has also served as an inspiration for Young Living Essential Oils
employees and distributors to serve others through their own
humanitarian efforts.
The Tarahumara Indians
In November of 2003, Gary Young led a team of hand–picked Young
Living Essential Oils executives and distributors on a humanitarian
expedition to northern Mexico. The goal of the expedition was to
provide the Tarahumara Indians with food, school supplies, and other
daily necessities. Gary and team also cleared land and provided
materials to build a new school house and community well for two
villages.
The Indian Ocean Tsunami
On December 26, 2004, a powerful earthquake triggered one of the
deadliest and most destructive tsunamis in history. The tsunami left
more than 150,000 dead in its path with millions more left homeless in
11 different countries around the Indian Ocean.
Since the disaster, Gary Young, through Young Living Essential Oils,
has donated essential oils to help relieve the stress and anguish of
tsunami victims.
Hurricane Katrina
Gary Young's personal dedication to humanitarian efforts paved the way
for Young Living to provide aid to Hurricane Katrina victims. Aside
from generous corporate donations made by Young Living Essential Oils,
Gary and Young Living provided hygiene kits used in the relief efforts
to help victims stay healthy.
9/11 Attacks
During the rescue and recovery efforts after the 9/11 tragedy, Gary,
through Young Living, donated essential oils for firefighters to use as
they worked among the debris.
Serving the
Community
Gary Young, both as an individual and as head of Young Living Essential
Oils, is constantly seeking to support and serve those in the
community. In August 2004, Gary personally assisted in the search for a
missing 12–year–old boy in the rugged Uinta Mountains of Utah. He rode
his horse through the rocky terrain in search of the young boy and
loaned horses to other volunteers.
