Help Arrives by Motorbike to Remote Kenya Villages

Nyasare, Kenya, May 19, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​​In western Kenya near the border of Tanzania, a team of Scientology Volunteer Ministers are extending their help to local villages. Traveling by motorbike, Daniel and his wife Margaret use the tools they have learned as Scientology Volunteer Ministers to help their neighbors with the day-to-day problems they face.

In the village of Nyasare they provided a seminar based on the How to Resolve Conflicts Course to an elder and his wife and son. The man requested this seminar as he often serves as mediator for his villagers.

"A Volunteer Minister does not shut his eyes to the pain, evil and injustice of existence. Rather, he is trained to handle these things and help others achieve relief from them and new personal strength as well."

L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology Founder

The elder was fascinated with the information and eager to put it to use. And when the volunteers learned the man had been bedridden with malaria for several days, they also educated him on the Cause of Suppression Course. That seminar showed the man why some people are ill more often than others and the reason some are accident-prone. By the end of the seminar, the man was feeling much better and told the volunteers he been sick often and unable to care for his farm. When they checked on him the following day, they found him out trimming his fence, feeling better than he had for quite some time.

The elder advised the Volunteer Ministers to meet with the area chief next time they visited, so the entire village may benefit from this technology.

Next, the Volunteer Ministers biked to the village of Sibouche to help a man who had suffered an injury to his leg. The man asked them to train his family to deliver assists—techniques developed by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard that speed healing by addressing the emotional and spiritual factors in stress and trauma. When they arrived at the injured man’s home he was seated with his two children. They showed the man and his daughter how to administers simple assists and supervised while she gave one to him. It not only lessened the pain in his leg, it also helped him relax and feel in touch with his body as a whole. They worked with the man and his daughter until she was confident she could continue to care for him on her own.

While in Sibouche they also met with village elders and youth leaders and introduced them to the Volunteer Ministers program. They asked for a seminar on how to maintain or repair a marriage, which the Volunteer Ministers conducted.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers training is available online, so anyone may learn these and other important tools. In all there are 19 courses, all supervised by a trained Volunteer Minister who will answer questions and ensure that the student understands and is able to use the technology.

In forming the program in the mid 1970s, Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, “A Volunteer Minister does not shut his eyes to the pain, evil and injustice of existence. Rather, he is trained to handle these things and help others achieve relief from them and new personal strength as well.”

The Volunteer Minister “helps his fellow man on a volunteer basis by restoring purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others.”

A global network of Volunteer Ministers mobilizes in times of manmade and natural disasters, answering the call wherever needed. Collaborating with some 1,000 organizations and agencies, they have utilized their skill and experience in providing physical support and spiritual aid at hundreds of disaster sites.
