Often in life, it is so easy to postpone things we want to do. Can you think of anything you have been meaning to do for a while and haven't done yet?

We would like to introduce you to this person who didn't postpone it and made a massive difference in just 9 months. His name is Alan Hewitt.

Finding the 'Right Fit'

Alan runs a company called Earth Star Publishing (www.meditate.com.au ). One of his company's major products is this very innovative meditation CD set that helps us get into deeper meditative states to effectively help release stress coming from many of the inner issues we have. He talks about his journey of finally finding the right match through Buy1GIVE1 in the interview we did earlier this year.

"I had been looking for an organisation we could partner with for sometime when I met Buy1GIVE1's concept. The attraction really was having the service that could match us with an organisation that is a right fit for us. For me, feeling passionate about giving is not just about giving money away. It is having the meaning behind the giving I can totally resonate with.”

"Most customers who come to us usually have issues like depression, anxiety, stress and sleeping disorders and these are usually caused by past traumas. So, helping the girls who have the same issues really resonated with me.” 

This was how it started for Alan. But the reason we are writing about him in thisissue is because we really saw the power of taking the first action and continuing to do so regularly. Just 9 months after Alan started his monthly contribution to All One Foundation (www.all-onefoundation.com ), we noticed he has already provided a staggering 2,126 healing sessions to sexually abused young girls in Cambodia. These are the children who were sold to the sex-trade by their parents because of the poverty.

Listen to the interview with Alan.

Being 'Sold' to Being Healed

All One Foundation's approach is to give special healing sessions to the girls using the technique of light touch chiropractic called NSA. They work with other local organisations already rescuing the children to their shelters. There was no treatment provided for the girls after being rescued before All One took action. The founder of All One Foundation, Lynelle Kerr is a doctor and she immediately saw the urgent need for the treatment for the girls whose entire bodies were stiffened by fear and pain when she personally visited the shelters.

If you see the before and after photographs of these girls, you will immediately recognise the effectiveness of this treatment.

The girls open up to the practitioners through these sessions and start trusting again.

And without Alan's regular and consistent contributions to All One automatically through the power of B1G1 transaction-based giving, hundreds of these children would have been untreated -- most likely left feeling hurt for the rest of their lives.

Working Together for a Cause

The impact of Buy1GIVE1 only comes with a small yet determined choice a business-owner makes to integrate the giving into their business transactions. And of course, the 'processional' effect is dramatically increased resonance and attraction to the customers' of the business. That's part of the magic.

Contrast that simplicity and effectiveness with the many businesses spending thousands of dollars on marketing, advertising and PR ('getting before giving'), and you instantly see that Buy1GIVE1 Business members focus more on creating a deeper sense of connection around the products and services they offer ('giving before getting'). And the business owners who give first are finding out how this transaction-based giving benefits their lives and businesses in a deeper way than they ever imagined before starting their giving.

Every story creates connection to a different cause. Together we really can achieve so much more.
