Volunteers in Hamburg Put Humanitarian Values Into Practice

Hamburg marked World Humanitarian Day with a focus on practical humanitarian service and the contribution of volunteers. At the Scientology Church in Hamburg, participants learned more about the work of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, an initiative created by L. Ron Hubbard around the principle that "Something can be done about it." The initiative focuses on practical skills that can be used when individuals or communities need support. The Hamburg gathering also reflected the role that voluntary service can play in building stronger communities. Scientology Volunteer Ministers have participated news eua in humanitarian initiatives in communities and emergency situations around the world. 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.
