Now three more tours are joining the three that began last year. These are the trans-Syberian tour, the South Pacific Island tour and the East Asian tour.
There are so many caring people who really want to help their communities. When they learn about the solutions L. Ron Hubbard developed for the problems they encounter they are eager to adopt them in their own programs.
Here is just one example from the Scientology Volunteer Minsiters Web site:
Humanitarian and educator, Mohammed Khalil Ullah, is committed to improving the lives of the children of the slums of Calcutta and has found, in the technology of
L. Ron Hubbard , the way to do so.For several years Mr. Ullah has been running projects in the slums, including providing schooling and health care for the children, vocational training for women so they can learn the skills they need to get jobs, and rescuing children who have been the victims of sexual trafficking, providing them a place to live, food and education.
Learning about Mr. Hubbard's technology when he attended a seminar presented by the Scientology Volunteer Goodwill Tour at the Calcutta Book Fair in January, Mr. Ullah thought Mr. Hubbard's methods could help him accomplish his mission.
He trained on the Disaster Response Course and several other Volunteer Ministers courses, provided by the Goodwill Tour. Inspired by what he learned he decided to implement this on a broad scale; he opened a school in the Calcutta slums, where he incorporated the techniques of study technology into the curriculum and plans to open dozens more.
"The difference Mr. Ullah's work is having on the lives of the children of Calcutta is incalculable," said Ms. Marion Whitta, Director of the India Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour. "In a country where trafficking in children is commonplace, Mr. Ullah's work is not a luxury — it is vital to the lives of the young people he is helping."
