A district manager of an educational support nonprofit believes everyone should study the Scientology Tools for Life courses. \u201cThey have taken my skillset to a whole new level,\u201d he says, \u201cand I can\u2019t wait to impart this knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n
A department head of a secondary school says, \u201cthe knowledge from the Tools for Life courses really improved my communication skills and I am now comfortable in interacting with other people in my environment, especially talking to fellow educators and learners.\u201d In addition to the knowledge he gained, he felt \u201ca unique sense of togetherness, a feeling of belonging to a wonderful group of profound people.\u201d This is echoed by an education specialist, who says \u201cevery new thing I learned from the Scientology Volunteer Ministers motivated me to bring change into my community.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I am shy, I just feel they gave me that urge to want to do more,\u201d says a graduate who works for a sustainable agriculture nonprofit. She now feels more capable of accomplishing her goals. \u201cI can organize, I can mobilize people, I can speak, I can be vocal.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is what I want to achieve,\u201d says a Gauteng University intern who was able to overcome certain fears that prevented him from being successful. He realized these truly\u00a0are\u00a0tools for life \u201cbecause they equip you to be able to tackle any challenge and any obstacle that you are faced with.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scientology Tools for Life were developed for the training of Scientology\u00a0Volunteer Ministers,\u00a0a religious social service created in the mid-1970s by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. The Volunteer Ministers are among the world\u2019s largest independent relief forces.<\/p>\n
Mr. Hubbard described the\u00a0Volunteer Minister<\/a>\u00a0as \u201ca person who helps his fellow man on a volunteer basis by restoring purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others.\u201d Their creed: \u201cA Volunteer Minister does 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Their motto is, no matter the circumstances, \u201cSomething\u00a0can\u00a0be done about it.\u201d<\/p>\n Castle Kyalami<\/a>\u00a0serves as a home for the community and a nexus for all who share the goal of bettering the lives of individuals and strengthening communities across the region, nation, and all of Africa. Mr.\u00a0David Miscavige<\/a>, ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, dedicated Kyalami Castle on New Year\u2019s Day 2019, reaffirming the commitment of Mr. Hubbard that \u201cfrom Southern Africa will spring the next great civilization on this planet.\u201d<\/p>\n For more information on the Scientology Volunteer Ministers of South Africa, visit the\u00a0Scientology website<\/a>.<\/p>\n LEARN MORE:<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.scientologynews.org\/press-releases\/<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.scientology.tv\/films\/scientology-principles\/tools-for-life.html<\/a><\/p>\n MULTIMEDIA:<\/strong><\/p>\n VIDEO:\u00a0https:\/\/youtu.be\/bkUy2jrjNOc<\/a><\/p>\n
