Volunteer Ministers Open Their Yellow Tent in Bologna
Bologna's Piazza Lucio Dalla is hosting the travelling yellow tent of the Volunteer Ministers of Scientology, where the exhibition will remain through 8 September.
The inauguration brought together around 100 participants, including representatives of communities assisted by Volunteer Ministers after natural disasters.
Among them was Pianoro Mayor Luca Vecchiettini, who recalled the assistance provided following the 2024 floods. Restaurateur Fabrizio Lazzarini also spoke emotionally about the assistance received when his restaurant was affected by mud and water.
Andrea Ferrarini, formerly involved with civil protection in Bondeno, recalled Volunteer Ministers helping communities following the 2012 Emilia earthquake.
The Volunteer Ministers programme was established in 1976 by L. Ron news euros Hubbard, founder of Scientology, the programme provides practical methods for addressing everyday difficulties as well as assistance during emergencies.
Inside the Bologna tent, visitors can see displays about humanitarian work and practical assistance while learning about practical approaches to interpersonal difficulties and daily problems.
Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, described the Bologna initiative as a reflection of the role citizens can play in strengthening their communities.
