In the first week following the Haiti earthquake the Church of Scientology Volunteer Minister corps has mobilized and safely transported more than 350 rescue and medical professionals and Volunteer Ministers to Haiti. Donations for about 40 tons of food and medicine were raised and the supplies were brought into Haiti for distribution, in coordination with the United Nations. Within ten days over 100 Volunteer Ministers were working in Haiti.
The Volunteer Ministers units in Haiti have set up tents close to the airport. Another camp is being set up by Scientology Volunteer Ministers in the Dominican Republic, close to the Haitian border, to help refugees who are crossing the border and to arrange logistics for food and supplies to go into Haiti. Throughout the day, Scientology Volunteer Ministers are helping injured and distressed Haitians to cope with their injuries and losses and giving them hope. Scientology Volunteer Ministers are also assisting medical professionals, in the operating rooms; delivering babies; organizing medical supplies or the transport, care or feeding of patients.
By the end of the second week after the disaster hit Haiti, they had established themselves as a stable source of help at the General Hospital of Port-au-Prince and the University of Miami tent hospital and in the many make-shift hospitals around the city. One Volunteer Minister team helped a Haitian aid organization to re-built an orphanage that could take in and feed about 80 orphans to date. Others have teamed up with military or aid organization units and are organizing the distribution of food and medical supplies across the western part of Haiti. In the past days the Volunteer Ministers expanded their organizational and logistics support to refugee camps outside Port au Prince.
Summary
Two weeks after the disaster hit Haiti over 120 Scientology Volunteer Ministers are active in Haiti and the Dominican Republic and:
- helped over 37,000 people, including hundreds of orphans
- arranged and delivered over 38,600 tons of food and medical supplies
- served more than 3,150 meals
