Volunteers in Hamburg Put Humanitarian Values Into Practice

At the Church of Scientology Hamburg, participants learned more about the work of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, a programme developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard to provide practical tools for helping others

The initiative focuses on practical skills that can be used when individuals or communities need support.
