Everyday you read in the newspaper about civil unrest, natural disaster and and attacks of some kind or another. With that comes a call for help and solutions from across the globe. Last year alone the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, a 100,000 members strong relief force, helped over 1.6 million people. And their website is dedicated to giving everyone solutions to everything from disaster relief to everyday problems.
A student from Senegal in western Africa, who found the web site through Google, said, " I think that even just reading the information I can achieve my goal: to avoid violence and create peace in my community."
"I was thinking—How can we actually make a difference in the world?" wrote an industrial engineer from Bolivia, "and I was worried about the things that were happening. How can we face injustice, crime, and totalitarianism? We have to teach people to live by certain rules that ensure that these things won't happen. We have to conquer darkness with light and develop social networks that bind people together with common principles of mutual caring, respect for law and respect for our neighbors. My country is going though very difficult times. There is violence and racism and hate. My search for peace and a way to make this world more secure led me to your web site."
From Kenya, a childcare specialist wrote "Your lessons and strategies of dealing with children has really motivated me to join with your network."
An engineer from Oman said "My interest was drawn to the real life issue assistance that I may attain from your courses. They seem to be the missing something that we very often overlook in life and forget to pass on to our children and peers."
"What particularly got my attention," wrote a manager from the Philippines, "is how your organization focuses its assistance on specific concerns and problems with solutions that can be applied immediately. I have been experiencing a great deal of change in myself and how I view others. And I want to learn more."
The free Scientology courses provide tools to help with such things as marriage problems, trouble in relationships with others, raising children, difficulties on the job and overcoming stress, anxiety and depression. These are self-guided courses, meaning people move through them at their own pace. Each course includes practical exercises where students get hands-on experience in applying the data. The courses are supervised by trained extension course supervisors who ensure the students can use the material and provide feedback, guidance and help where needed.
