Julia assembled a team and traveled some 200 miles to the coastal port city. They arrived with tools and supplies and helped residents and businesses recover from a disaster that some described as āBiblicalā because of its unparalleled damage.
Joined by a team of Hungarian Scientologists, the Volunteer Ministers coordinated with civil protection and the fire department and began the grueling task of removing the mud and restoring order. More and more families and local volunteers joined in the project until every home in the area was mud-free and clean and they were ready to start planning needed renovation and restoration.
The Volunteer Ministerās friend posted her heartfelt thanks and a video on her Facebook.
āDaniel hit all of Thessaly including my city Volos. There was devastation everywhere,ā she wrote. āAnd then, in the darkest of days, my friend Julia said she and her team wanted to come to help Volos in any way possible.ā
Mariza described how the volunteers took on the grueling work of cleaning up homes that were buried in mud and debris.
āThey offered solidarity, support, cooperation and participation,ā she said, āwords that take on a new dimension when they are put into action.ā
Mariza wrote of meeting Julia and her family 24 years ago, āand 24 years later, they proved to me how lucky I was to have met them and that they count me among their friends. I feel blessed.ā
Scientology Volunteer Ministers are trained in technology developed by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, providing them with the skills they need to help āon a volunteer basis by restoring purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others.ā The motto of the Volunteer Minister is that no matter the circumstances āSomething can be done about it.ā Mr. Hubbard described the Volunteer Minister as one who ādoes not shut his eyes to the pain, evil and injustice of existence. Rather, he is trained to handle these things and help others achieve relief from them and new personal strength as well.ā
