Scientology Volunteer Ministers Join Disaster Relief Effort in Kisii, Kenya

July 28, 2009 - PRLog -- Scientology Volunteer Ministers from Nekuru, Kenya rushed to the town of Kisii in June when a three-story building under construction in that city collapsed, killing five and injuring 14.

The result could have been far more serious, were it not for civilians who reacted immediately and came to the aid of those in need. On seeing the collapse take place, workers at a nearby road construction site abandoned their work and brought four earthmovers to help in the rescue operation. Four ambulances that happened to be at hand rushed those who were rescued to a hospital.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers from Nekuru, working on a strictly volunteer basis, arrived on the scene and helped with the search and rescue operation, providing emergency workers with whatever assistance they needed.

Then, to deal with the trauma of those directly involved, the volunteers provided Scientology assists, procedures developed by L. Ron Hubbard that provide relief in times of stress and disaster by addressing the emotional and spiritual factors in trauma, illness and injuries.  Once the immediate situation was under control, the Scientology volunteers then provided seminars in Scientology assist procedures to empower people in the city with tools to deal with any future disasters.

For more than 25 years, in more than 150 nations, Scientology Volunteer Ministers have brought effective solutions to bear on the problems, large and small, of the world.  In 2008, Scientology Volunteer Ministers administered one-on-one help at 23 separate disaster sites.
