Scientology Volunteer Ministers West African Goodwill Tour Continues in Benin

Scientology volunteers present effective solutions to the people of Djougou

07.14.2009 – A team of Scientology Volunteer Ministers is continuing their work in Benin, in Djougou, the largest city in northwest of the country. Benin has major challenges to overcome: half the population is living below the international poverty line and only a third of the adult population is literate.

With their motto, “Something CAN be done about it,” the Scientology Volunteer Ministers are working with officials and civic leaders, providing workshops, seminars, courses and personal help to groups and individuals, to help improve conditions in this country.

The tour has been helping schools throughout Djougou with workshops on the technology of study, developed by L. Ron Hubbard. The workshop provides students and teachers with the means to gain the most from their education. Over one recent two-week period, the Tour delivered workshops at six Djougou schools, reaching 50 teachers and more than 800 students.

The Scientology volunteers also provide seminars, workshops and courses at their big yellow tent. One of these seminars covers the use of Scientology assists, procedures that help people who are ill, distraught or injured. While they do not take the place of medical attention or first aid, assists address the emotional and spiritual side of trauma, and help the person recover fully and quickly from injury, stress or shock. “I am very sure I will apply what I have just learned to help others feel an immense sense of relief,” wrote one man on completion of this seminar. “I thank the team of Scientology Volunteer Ministers,” wrote another, “It is as if they came here especially for me.”

A woman who attended a seminar on the raising of children said it changed her attitude and approach to parenting completely. Before the seminar she would get very frustrated with her children and she did things she later regretted. She left, confident that she can now really help her children and treat them with the same respect she would give to anyone else, no matter their age.

“I thank the Scientology Volunteer Ministers for their help and kindness,” wrote another person who visited the Tour at their tent. “I am now capable of solving problems. I assure you that I will apply what I learned to help humanity.”

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers West African Goodwill Tour is one of ten such tours, reaching out into remote locations. They provide training and one-on-one help using technology in the Scientology Handbook.
