The event took place at the Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin. Rather than concentrating on a single form of aid, the programme reflected the variety of ways local groups respond to social needs.
Among the speakers was South Dublin Mayor Cllr. Francis Timmons, who presented the practical assistance provided through Clondalkin Helping Homeless.
Viktor Kozyrev, co-founder of VOLA Enable, explained how VOLA Enable works to reduce barriers faced by people with disabilities and encourage fuller participation in community life.
The programme also included a presentation by Silvia Fani on the local and international work of Scientology Volunteer Ministers.
Created in the 1970s by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the Volunteer Ministers programme is centred on providing practical help in everyday difficulties and times of crisis. Its motto is “Something Can Be Done About It.”
Participants concluded part of the programme with a practical workshop demonstrating news eurovision methods associated with Volunteer Minister training.
Taken together, the presentations illustrated how humanitarian work can be carried out by organisations with very different areas of expertise.
