Scientology Volunteer Ministers Continue Bringing Help and Hope to Venezuela After Devastating Earthquakes

Published

on

As the emergency moves from rescue to recovery, volunteers support families, rescue teams and local communities with supplies, logistics and practical assistance in Caracas, La Guaira and surrounding areas.

Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 9th Jul 2026 — In the aftermath of the powerful double earthquake that struck Venezuela on 24 June, Scientology Volunteer Ministers continue to stand with affected families and emergency teams as the country moves from the first days of rescue into the longer and more demanding work of recovery.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers Continue Bringing Help and Hope to Venezuela After Devastating Earthquakes

The earthquakes hit north-central Venezuela in rapid succession, causing serious damage in Caracas, La Guaira and nearby coastal communities. What began as an urgent search-and-rescue response has now become a sustained humanitarian effort focused on shelter, water, hygiene, transport, emotional support and the organised distribution of essential supplies.

Reports from La Guaira show that many families are still living with the consequences of collapsed homes, damaged infrastructure and disrupted basic services. According to Associated Press reporting from Maiquetía, access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene remains a major concern for displaced residents. Other international reporting has described families staying in streets, parks and temporary shelters while damaged buildings are inspected and emergency teams continue their work.

Against this background, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers have continued to provide practical help where it is most needed. Their work includes receiving and organising donations, moving supplies to affected communities, assisting families in temporary locations, helping specialised personnel reach priority areas and supporting coordination between volunteers, rescue teams, medical personnel and local contacts.

Recent public reports have highlighted the continuing role of the Volunteer Ministers in the relief effort. Primicia reported that Venezuelan actress and humanitarian Ruddy Rodríguez returned to the country with a team of volunteers to help earthquake victims. Rodríguez stressed that the effort was not a brief visit, but part of a continued commitment to accompany families through the difficult days following the disaster.

“This is the beginning; it is not to be here for a little while and leave,” Rodríguez said, according to Primicia. The same report stated that nearly 400 volunteers were distributed between Caracas and La Guaira, working alongside Mexico’s Topos rescue teams, with volunteers also connected to the effort from Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil, the United States, Israel, Spain and Mexico.

Rodríguez also explained that the volunteers are trained to serve in difficult conditions, including removing rubble, distributing goods and helping organise collection centres. She referred to earlier Volunteer Minister responses in major disasters, including Hurricane Katrina, Haiti, Chile, Japan and the 1999 Vargas tragedy in Venezuela.

A separate report by 2001Online placed part of the relief work in Macuto, in La Guaira, where Rodríguez joined efforts with the Scientology Volunteer Ministers of Venezuela. The report described assistance with the movement of essential supplies, distribution of aid in vulnerable sectors, transport support for specialised personnel and cooperation with rescue and medical teams.

For families who have lost homes, belongings or contact with normal daily life, such support can be decisive. In disaster areas, help often depends not only on the availability of goods, but on the ability to move them, organise them and place them in the hands of those who need them. Scientology Volunteer Ministers have therefore focused on the practical details that make relief possible: sorting donations, helping with transport, coordinating with field teams and assisting people facing uncertainty, grief and displacement.

The wider humanitarian response is also entering a new stage. The United Nations has launched a 296 million dollar plan intended to reach 1.3 million people over six months, reflecting the scale of continuing needs in shelter, health, water, sanitation and protection. As international rescue teams begin to leave, local communities and civil society groups remain central to the recovery ahead, often rotating volunteers from the same organizations so that that the gained knowledge and know-how stays and reinforces the relief activities.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers programme was established by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion, in the mid-1970s. Its motto, “Something can be done about it,” expresses the purpose of the movement: to bring effective, compassionate help to people facing hardship, confusion or disaster.

Volunteer Ministers are trained to provide practical assistance and spiritual support in cooperation with local communities, public bodies and other humanitarian actors. Over the years, they have served in the aftermath of earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires and other emergencies, working with people of all backgrounds and beliefs.

In Venezuela, that spirit is being expressed through steady service on the ground. Volunteers continue to help families, support emergency workers and assist with the organisation of materials and personnel as the country faces the next stage of recovery. Their work forms part of a broader response involving Venezuelan civil society, rescue organisations, medical teams, public authorities, private-sector contributors, faith communities and international agencies.

Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, said the Venezuela response reflects the importance of solidarity when the first emergency headlines begin to fade.

“When the rescue phase passes, families still need water, shelter, hygiene, transport, information and human support,” Arjona said. “The work of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers in Venezuela is an expression of practical solidarity. It reflects a principle shared across Europe and beyond: human dignity is protected not only through declarations, but through organised help when people are rebuilding their lives.”

Arjona added that the international character of the response shows the value of cooperation in moments of crisis.

“No single institution can carry the full burden of a catastrophe of this scale,” he said. “Authorities, rescue teams, humanitarian organisations, faith communities, private donors and trained volunteers each have a role. What matters is that affected families receive timely, respectful and useful assistance.”

As Venezuela continues to recover from the earthquakes, the needs remain significant. Safe water, sanitation, temporary shelter, medical attention, protection for displaced families and emotional support are among the priorities reported by humanitarian actors. For the Volunteer Ministers, remaining present during this phase is part of the same commitment that brought them into the affected areas in the first place: to help restore order, dignity and hope where disaster has struck.

The Church of Scientology, its missions, groups and members are present throughout the European continent, where their recognition as charitable and bona fide religious communities continues to grow. Inspired by the works of L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology-supported humanitarian initiatives include drug prevention education, human rights awareness, moral education through The Way to Happiness, and Volunteer Minister service in times of need. Through education, prevention and community betterment, these initiatives contribute to civic responsibility and practical solidarity across Europe and beyond.

Ghanaian Royal and Business Delegation to Convene in Dallas for U.S.–Ghana Investment Symposium

Published

on

August 22–23 Dallas forum will connect Ghanaian project leaders with U.S. investors, technology companies and strategic partners to explore major opportunities in infrastructure, Smart Cities, energy, agriculture and industrial development.

Ghana, 26th Aug 2026 – A Ghanaian royal, business and project-development delegation will convene in Dallas, Texas, on August 22–23, 2026, for a high-level U.S.–Ghana Investment Business Symposium focused on building commercial partnerships between Ghanaian project managers and leaders and American investors, infrastructure developers, technology companies and strategic business partners.

Sponsored by Mr. Nick DeSilva, the symposium will showcase a portfolio of development opportunities spanning Smart Cities, renewable energy, transportation and logistics, agricultural industrialization, mineral processing, technology, Special Economic Zones and related infrastructure.

The Dallas engagement is being coordinated with Ambassador Dr. Erick Hall Sr., PhD, who is supporting international business development, investor relations and strategic partnership discussions associated with Ghana’s Smart City and other transformational development initiatives.

“Our objective is to move the conversation from opportunity to structured engagement,” said Ambassador Dr. Erick Hall Sr., PhD. “We want qualified investors and strategic partners to examine specific projects, understand their potential and identify opportunities for responsible, commercially viable collaboration.”

A Platform for Investment and Partnership

The symposium is designed to create a focused environment for investors and project sponsors to explore potential partnerships, technology solutions, financing strategies and pathways toward technical and commercial due diligence.

Areas of focus will include:

  • Artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure
  • Smart City and mixed-use urban development
  • Renewable and reliable energy systems
  • Rail, transportation, and logistics infrastructure
  • Agricultural industrialization and food-security systems
  • Mineral processing and value-added manufacturing
  • Special Economic Zones and export-oriented industries
  • Healthcare, education, housing, hospitality, and tourism
  • Data centers, fiber infrastructure, and technology ecosystems
  • Climate finance, green bonds, and carbon-credit opportunities

One of the featured initiatives will be the AMALI Green Industrial Corridor, a proposed private-sector-led development platform presented by His Excellency Ambassador Joel John Rawlings, Chief Executive Officer of AMALI Holdings Ltd and SPECIAL ENVOY FOR AFRICA ON TRADE, INDUSTRY, INVESTMENT AND STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT (NWAF).

The AMALI concept seeks to integrate renewable energy, heavy-haul rail, mining and mineral processing, agriculture, logistics, ports, industrial zones and Smart City development into a coordinated regional economic platform.

According to sponsor-prepared preliminary estimates, the broader concept represents a significant long-term infrastructure investment opportunity. Detailed capital requirements, financial projections, development phases, technical assumptions and potential investment structures will be presented separately to qualified investors and strategic partners for further consideration.

The project concept is intended to support Ghana’s industrial and economic development while strengthening connections to regional markets and supply chains across West Africa.

“The AMALI concept brings together infrastructure, energy, agriculture, mineral processing and logistics within a single development framework,” said His Excellency Ambassador Joel John Rawlings. The next prepared stage subjects the opportunity to rigorous technical, commercial and financial evaluation and to identify the right partners for its development.

Building U.S.–Ghana Commercial Relationships

The delegation’s Dallas visit is intended to strengthen commercial relationships between Ghana and the United States while creating opportunities for investment, technology transfer, infrastructure development, employment and regional trade.

“This delegation comes to America with a message of partnership and responsible development,” said HRH Dr. Nana Adjoa Akyekumaa I, Development Queen Mother of Gomoa Abonko. “We welcome investors and strategic partners who share our commitment to sustainable communities, modern infrastructure and meaningful economic opportunities for Ghana and the wider region.”

The symposium is expected to facilitate investor introductions, strategic partnerships, technology discussions, feasibility and engineering engagements, potential Letters of Intent and Memoranda of Understanding, and follow-up discussions with qualified investors and corporate partners.

All projects presented through the symposium will remain subject to appropriate technical, commercial, financial, legal, environmental and regulatory evaluation. Participation in the symposium does not constitute an investment commitment, government guarantee, securities offering or final project approval.

The Dallas symposium is intended to be the beginning of a disciplined investment-development process, bringing credible projects, capital, technology and strategic expertise together to explore what can be built in Ghana and across the region.

About the Dallas Investment Business Symposium

The Dallas Investment Business Symposium, sponsored by Mr. Nick DeSilva, is an executive-level forum designed to connect Ghanaian and international project sponsors with U.S. investors, infrastructure developers, technology providers, financial institutions and corporate partners.

The August 22–23 program will focus on commercially viable partnerships supporting sustainable development, infrastructure modernization, innovation, industrial growth and international trade.

Claimboost Launches Dedicated Resource for Australians Facing Mould-Related Insurance Disputes

Published

on

Independent Australian insurance claims advocacy service offers an information-rich web page for Australians experiencing disputed, delayed, declined, or underpaid property insurance claims related to mould

United States, 26th Aug 2026 —Claimboost, the independent Australian insurance claims advocacy service that supports suitable disputed, delayed, declined, and underpaid insurance claims, today announced the launch of a dedicated online resource for Australians dealing with mould-related property insurance claim disputes. The page explains how mould damage occurs and why disputes can arise with insurers over mould-related claims.

“Mould claims can get complicated,” explained Christian Harris, a spokesperson for Claimboost. “In some cases, insurers are justified in denying coverage, but much of the time, an experienced advocate can clarify the situation and assist in getting payment for the policyholder. This is what we do.”

As the page explains, mould can develop following water ingress, storm damage, burst pipes, leaking roofs, delayed drying or inadequate make-safe work. Given that many homes and buildings are old, and it is not always clear when or how water damage occurred, insurers may dispute the claim. Further to this point, mould-related claims can be particularly difficult because mould is often a consequence of another problem rather than the original event. A mould dispute may concern where the moisture came from, how long it remained, whether the building was dried or protected appropriately, whether maintenance contributed, and whether the insurer’s reports accurately describe the conditions.

To help resolve disputed insurance claims, Claimboost may review the insurer’s decision, aim documents, reports, scopes, quotes, correspondence and other available evidence. Where appropriate, further technical evidence may be required from a suitably qualified building consultant, leak-detection specialist, hygienist, engineer or another relevant expert.

Claimboost reviews the written decision, evidence and proposed outcome before confirming whether it can assist. The firm often discovers insurer report errors in this process. Claimboost does not guarantee that advocacy will change an insurer’s decision, however. The outcome of every claim depends on its individual circumstances, evidence, and policy wording. 

Dealing with a disputed, delayed, declined or underpaid insurance claim? Contact Claimboost for a free, no-obligation claim review. Claimboost will review the written decision or proposed outcome and the available evidence before confirming whether it may be able to assist.

About Claimboost

Claimboost is an independent insurance claims advocacy service assisting Australians with suitable disputed, delayed, declined and underpaid insurance claims. Its work focuses on strata insurance claims and claims where the insurer has issued a written decision, partial decline or proposed settlement outcome that may not be supported by the available evidence. This can include disputes involving insurer-appointed building reports, expert opinions, incomplete scopes of work, inadequate repair assessments and settlement offers that do not reflect the documented damage.
