Humanitarian Service in Hamburg

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 in local community projects and international humanitarian operations.

The Hamburg initiative is also a reminder that humanitarian responsibility often starts close to home.

Hamburg offered a practical example of Scientology how service and civic responsibility can contribute to community life.
