Scientology Volunteer Ministers in Java

Scientology Volunteer Ministers Disaster Relief Teams are in Java to help in the aftermath of the earthquake that killed over 6000 people several weeks ago.

As in other disasters, the way the Volunteer Ministers provide maximum assistance, both to other relief agencies and to those affected by the disaster, is by training local residents in the technology of the Scientology Handbook, based on the discoveries of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Anyone wishing to help should contact one of the following people:

Australia, New Zealand and Oceania Coordinator, Virginia Stewart at: virginias@scientology.net

US Coordinator Aenetta at, ihelpwestus@ihelp.org

UK Coordinator: Ann Rollins at, ihelpuk@ihelp.org

Scientology Volunteer Ministers Go to the Gulf Coast

Over 600 Scientology Volunteer Ministers are in the states of Louisiana and Mississippi, with others manning shelters where evacuees have been relocated.

It is a really terrible disaster. When you compare it with the damage done by the 9/11 terrorist attacks four years ago there was probably more loss of life and more destruction of property and certainly more people affected by the disaster from Hurricane Katrina.

It was right after 9/11 that Mr. David Miscavige appealed to all Scientologists to dedicate themselves to improving conditions in society. He called 9/11 a "wakeup call" that all is not well and that Scientologist who know they have solutions to the problems in society need to take far more responsibility.

A lot has changed over the past four years.

But here again, we have another example of lack of coordination and failure to predict consequences (or act upon the predictions that naturalists for example have been making for years) resulted in far more harm than there should have been.

Mr. Miscavige has been a real inspiration to me and my friends.

Rotary International President Welcomes Scientology Tsunami

Kensington, South Africa - Jan 7, 2005 (PRN):

The President of Rotary International, Rotarian Mr Rajendra Sabhu, visited the Cuddalore District on Tuesday, meeting with district rotary members, and assessing the needs of the areas affected.

The rotary club has been working in the Tamil Nad region in co-ordination with the members of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Relief effort. This team of volunteers are specialists in Disaster relief, emotional impact assessment and trauma relief counseling and training.

The Volunteer Ministers have Tsunami Relief teams deployed in all of the countries affected by the Tsunami, including Indonesia, Thailand, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, and India. The total number of volunteers mobilized by the Scientology Volunteer minister corps is in excess of 200 people from many countries all across the globe.

On meeting the Volunteer Ministers, and coming to know of their mission, Mr Rajendra Sabhu welcomed them saying "We as Rotary members, and as India wish to thank you for coming here from all over the world, from countries where most would consider this natural calamity as being sad, but not their own problem. This is a humanitarian problem, affecting the brotherhood of mankind, and it is my honor and privilege to have met the Scientology volunteers. Your being here has refreshed my hope as you are true humanitarians, bringing hope for humanity."

The Scientology Relief Teams have been in India since 1 January, and are comprised of a Co-ordination Office in Chennai, and two specialist teams, one in Cuddalore, and one in Nagapathnum. These teams are delivering training to Tamil speaking volunteers on Scientology processes used to assist victims who are experiencing emotional trauma related problems. These processes allow a victim to completely resolve the psychological and emotional barriers which are preventing them from coming to terms with the disaster, and re-establishing their lives.

Any volunteers who speak English, and Tamil, and who wish to be trained in these techniques are urged to contact the National Coordinator, Dr. Geoffrey Barton on 98804 50341 or 98804 50342. All training is provided at no cost, and would take 1 - 2 days to complete. These volunteers would then be able to deliver these assist processes, and train others on their delivery in Tamil.
