World Humanitarian Day in Hamburg highlighted the importance of people who are prepared to help others in practical ways.
At the Scientology Church in Hamburg, participants learned more about the work of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, a humanitarian programme established by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard
Volunteer Ministers are trained in practical approaches intended to help people during emergencies as well as everyday difficulties.
The Hamburg gathering also reflected the role that voluntary service can play in building stronger communities. Scientology Volunteer Ministers have participated in volunteer activities ranging from neighbourhood assistance to large-scale disaster eu news response.
Humanitarian service can begin with something as simple as recognising that another person needs help and deciding to do something useful.
A fuller account of the Hamburg event, the Volunteer Ministers programme and the wider significance of World Humanitarian Day can be found in the full article on humanitarian service in Hamburg.
The message is simple: communities are stronger when people are willing and able to help one another.
