Scientology Volunteer Ministers in the Czech Republic gave hope and results amidst the floods in the Jeseníky Region.

Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 9th Oct 2024 – Following the floods that affected the Czech Republic and notably the Jeseníky region recently, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers have played a crucial role in aiding recovery efforts and providing assistance to those in need. Through more than 3000 volunteered hours the committed team had supported almost 200 families in restoring their residences and restarting their lives post the havoc wreaked by nature. 

The Consequences of Mother Natures Wrath 

The recent floods in the Czech Republic were incredibly destructive as raging waters caused damage, to trees and vehicles while even entire houses were swept away in the deluge of waterways that ran through communities during this event. 

Community members were confronted with the job of tidying up their residences while dealing with the emotional toll of the catastrophe they experienced firsthand. During critical moments as these ones, receiving timely support could serve as a beacon of hope, amidst the overwhelming sense of loss and despair. 

“The Coming of the Golden Messengers”

When the full scope of the destruction became clear and urgent assistance was required in the aftermath of the Jeseníky disaster, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers quickly sprang into action. Renowned for their response to disasters and their widespread humanitarian work worldwide—ranging from aiding during hurricanes in Florida to providing relief after earthquakes, in Turkey—their motto of “Something Can Be Done About It” echoed with a sense of immediacy and importance. 

On the evening of September 17th, a group made up of both Scientology and non Scientology volunteers reached the area. They began their display of kindness by tidying up the Jeseníka Elementary School of Arts and proceeded to offer families without electricity power generators.

Within days, the volunteers were cleaning homes in the village of Písečná, laboring diligently as they transported bulky equipment, such as pumps and mud vacuums, often hundreds of meters due to washed-out roads.

From their arrival until their departure on September 28th, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers achieved contributed with the following:

  • Cleared more than 120 buildings of mud and water
  • Assisted nearly 200 families in returning to their homes
  • Delivered four vans of humanitarian aid
  • Provided approximately 100 “assists”—one-to-one spiritual support, developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, for those struggling with the emotional impact of the disaster
  • Logged over 3,000 volunteer hours

This remarkable output in less than two weeks underscores the effective organizational technology rooted in Scientology’s teachings.

Community Reactions

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers have been warmly welcomed by the community and lovingly referred to as “yellow angels” thanks to their unique yellow caps and attire consisting of yellow shirts and jackets. Their efforts have had a positive effect on the people they have assisted and their families. 

One resident, deeply affected by the disaster, recounted her experience: “When I saw the disaster in my home, I begged the angels for help. In the morning, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers appeared.” Many locals expressed their astonishment at the speed and efficiency of the cleanup. “We were struggling here with no results, and you came and in a few hours it was done.” The Elementary School of Arts expressed their gratitude in a heartfelt message: “A BIG THANK YOU 💛🙏. The volunteers literally fell from the sky. They came to our damaged buildings and did a tremendous job.”

The Mayor of Písečná also shared her appreciation: “I have no words. I don’t remember ever seeing someone work with such dedication and enthusiasm. Thank you so much. Without your help, it wouldn’t have been done the way it has been done, and certainly not in such a short time.”

The response to the volunteer efforts was overwhelming, with many residents eagerly seeking assistance and finding it difficult to keep up with the demand for help. In the closing days of their mission, the volunteers even cleaned the local playground, multifunctional playground, football field, and transport playground, ensuring that children could resume their play and activities.

A Philosophy of Helping Others

Central to Scientology’s beliefs is the emphasis on aiding those in need: a philosophy that underpins their humanitarian efforts. L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, initiated the Volunteer Ministers program over thirty years ago in response to societal decline and the need for increased morality and kindness. He stated, “If someone doesn’t like the criminality, cruelty, injustice, and violence in this society, they can do something about it. He can become a VOLUNTEER MINISTER and help civilize society.”

Founded in 1954, Scientology has since expanded to over 11,000 organizations, missions, and affiliated groups worldwide, boasting millions of members across 167 countries. Their volunteer programs continue to embody the essence of helping communities in crises, as exemplified in the Jeseníky flood recovery.

The impressive response of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers in the Jeseníky area following the floods is a touching example of community teamwork and volunteer dedication in times of crisis. These dedicated volunteers have emerged as a beacon of hope for the community during their most challenging moments. Earning them the endearing nickname of “yellow angels.” This demonstrates that when people come together with determination and effective actions, like this group did, it shows that there are solutions to be found in situations.

DuoKey to Unveil Encrypted Financial Intelligence Use Case at GISEC Global 2025: A Breakthrough in Fraud Detection Powered by Fully Homomorphic Encryption and MPC-based KMS

Published

on

Dubai, UAE, 2nd May 2025, ZEX PR WIRECloud security leader DuoKey will unveil its groundbreaking use case for encrypted financial intelligence at GISEC Global in Dubai next week. Designed to address the challenges of fraud detection and regulatory compliance, this approach, which combines Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and Multi-Party Computation (MPC)-based Key Management (KMS), allows financial institutions to analyse encrypted transactions in real time without ever decrypting sensitive data.

In a global financial landscape where illicit transactions exceed $2 trillion annually and compliance fines topped $10.4 billion on a yearly basis according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crimes, DuoKey confidential AI use case for the financial sector demonstrates how financial institutions can securely process high-risk transaction patterns, perform watchlist screening and assess customer risk profile, while preserving end-to-end encryption and maintaining jurisdictional data control.

“Traditional approaches expose data during analysis, creating systemic security gaps,” said Nagib Aouini, CEO of DuoKey. “Our use case shows how FHE and MPC-based KMS together allow financial institutions to detect fraud, meet AML obligations and collaborate securely without any compromise on data confidentiality or sovereignty.”

DuoKey financial intelligence solution enables secure collaboration between banks, regulators, and fintech providers by allowing cross-border investigation and compliance workflows without revealing underlying customer data. This addresses a longstanding roadblock to industry-wide fraud detection while complying with privacy and regulatory standards such as GDPR, FATF, and PCI DSS.

Visitors to GISEC Global will get the opportunity to explore the live use case at the DuoKey booth (D-120, Hall 6) starting on May 6 until May 8. Schedule your personalised demo at GISEC Global to see how DuoKey financial intelligence enhances fraud detection and compliance. Demonstrations include real-time transaction scoring, encrypted rule-based screening and dynamic anti money laundering (AML) analytics all with performance benchmarks that rival traditional unencrypted systems.

Mentorship Over Metrics: Marjorie Jeffrey on Redefining Leadership for Women in Marketing

Published

on

Michigan, US, 2nd May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As marketing departments race to keep pace with AI, automation, and changing consumer expectations, senior marketing strategist Marjorie Jeffrey says the most significant transformation isn’t happening in the tools marketers use; it’s in how future leaders are developed.

According to Marjorie Jeffrey, mentorship is no longer optional. “If we want more women in leadership, we need to stop treating mentorship as a bonus and start recognizing it as core to how strong, ethical, and inclusive teams are built,” she says.

Jeffrey, who has guided dozens of companies through brand transformations and campaign strategy over the past 15 years, now dedicates a significant portion of her time to mentoring early-career marketers, especially women. She believes that creating the next generation of leadership requires intentional relationship-building, open dialogue, and systems that reward collaboration over competition.

“Marketing has evolved, but the leadership models in many organizations haven’t,” Jeffrey explains. “We’re still valuing output and volume over strategic insight and emotional intelligence. Mentorship is one of the few ways to shift that culture from the inside out.”

While women make up the majority of entry-level marketing roles, Jeffrey points out that they remain underrepresented at the top. “There’s a persistent gap between who’s doing the work and who’s getting the recognition, and that gap only widens without meaningful support structures like mentorship,” she says.

According to Jeffrey, mentorship is especially critical for women navigating industries like tech, finance, or B2B services, where leadership still skews heavily male. She believes the most effective mentors offer more than tactical advice; they provide context, validation, and space for vulnerable conversations about imposter syndrome, negotiation, and self-advocacy.

“People assume mentorship is just about sharing expertise, but often it’s about reminding someone they belong in the room,” says Jeffrey. “I’ve had mentees who were brilliant marketers but struggled to see themselves as leaders. Mentorship helps close that gap between capability and confidence.”

Jeffrey encourages companies to treat mentorship as part of their strategic planning, not a side initiative. She advocates for formal mentorship programs, cross-level collaboration, and reverse mentorship structures where junior employees can share emerging insights with senior leaders.

“If mentorship only happens casually, it stays limited to people with the right networks or personalities to ask for help,” Jeffrey explains. “We need to institutionalize it, especially if we want to foster diversity in leadership. That means giving people the time, training, and tools to mentor well.”

Jeffrey works with organizations in her consulting practice to embed mentorship into their brand cultures, tying it directly to employee retention, leadership pipelines, and internal communications. She often conducts messaging audits and internal workshops to make mentorship more actionable and accessible across teams.

“Mentorship has measurable impact,” she says. “It improves job satisfaction, accelerates career progression, and helps companies retain talent, especially during times of rapid change. Why wouldn’t we prioritize that?”

Jeffrey also emphasizes the importance of storytelling in mentorship. As someone who builds audience-first marketing strategies, she sees narrative as a powerful leadership tool. “When women in leadership share their real stories, the wins and the mistakes, it humanizes success,” she notes. “That vulnerability builds trust and makes leadership seem possible for more people.”

Outside of her client work, Jeffrey frequently speaks on inclusive messaging and brand ethics at industry conferences. She’s building a mentorship circle specifically for mid-career women marketers navigating transitions into management, entrepreneurship, or specialized strategic roles.

“There’s so much support for entry-level talent, but mid-career is where many women drop off the leadership path,” says Jeffrey. “We need to intervene there, with mentorship that’s practical, flexible, and grounded in real experiences.”

For Jeffrey, mentorship is not just a leadership responsibility. It’s a way of investing in the industry’s future. She believes that as marketing becomes more human-centric and purpose-driven, the role of mentors will become even more essential.

“The real legacy of a marketing leader isn’t just in the campaigns they run, it’s in the people they shape,” she says. “If I can help even one person lead with more clarity, confidence, and compassion, that’s the kind of impact that lasts.”
