How many religions have teams of people - 350 it says ready to drop what they do and go and help??? Anywhere in the world?? He says 9/11, catriona, they were also at Bandi Acher - Bali and so on. These guys deserve more than the crap the media throws at them.

[ScientologyVM]

There are over 200,000 trained Volunteer Ministers in the world and at any time of the day thousands are active in their community or in disaster areas. They are giving their time to organize, to help. Haitian Volunteer Ministers (VMs) in Port Au Prince were joined by around 100-150 VMs majorly from the US, Canada, UK, France, Russia and Germany. Some have to go back to their normal jobs, others are freeing up their lives to be able to come to Haiti. But a stable unit is there all the time.

INCREDIBLE! Surrounded by so much chaos yet able to deliver so much happiness - THAT is what being a Volunteer Minister is all about!

Just so everyone knows, for $30 your local Church of Scientology will train you on Assists. They're great for everyday use, as well as in these scenarios.

@0darkhorse8 You can also download the training material and do a free extension course on the Volunteer Ministers website (click on "Train as a VM" at the bottom of our blog.

WIN!!! Scientology Volunteer Ministers are AWESOME!!!

The media have been shills for psychiatry for 100 years. It's about time they got a little unbiased. It sounds like just because it is not hate-filled rhetoric that you think it supports the cause. No, it's called journalism; reporting what's happening.

[4aworldofpain]

How wonderful. Didn't even mention their religious beliefs while administering aid. They are just there to help.

Just leave it to world press and media to promote their cause.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers are my heroes.

Do you know if I can get a happy ending with one of those touch assist

[harpnhound]

In a disaster, sometimes you must accept help from whomever is kind and caring enough to offer it...He was there...and you? Not able to spell, yet you're typing comments...ahahahahahahahah Let's not cast stones, shall we?
