Scientology Volunteer Ministers Lead Grassroots Environmental Movement in Milan A Model for Civic Engagement Across Europe

Published

6 months ago

on

The Volunteer Ministers of Scientology in Milan have launched an ongoing environmental initiative aimed at cleaning public spaces across the city’s nine Municipalities. Through weekly cleanups, educational programs, and collaboration with local authorities — including AMSA (Milan Environmental Services) — the group promotes civic responsibility, sustainability, and community engagement. Their efforts include collecting waste, restoring green areas, and raising awareness about environmental stewardship. Supported by global humanitarian frameworks and rooted in the principles of the Volunteer Minister Program founded by L. Ron Hubbard, the initiative reflects a broader mission of service and positive social change. The movement invites citizens to join in building a cleaner, safer, and more conscious urban environment.

Milan, Italy – May 21, 2025 – In a powerful display of civic responsibility and environmental stewardship, the Italian Scientology Volunteer Ministers of Milano have launched a sustained initiative to clean and revitalize public spaces across all nine Municipalities of Milan. Their efforts are not only transforming urban landscapes but also inspiring a growing movement of community-based environmental action across the city.

The volunteer group, composed of local residents and members of the Church of Scientology, has been actively engaged in cleaning neglected parks, litter-strewn streets, overgrown sidewalks, and under-maintained green areas. More than just picking up trash, they aim to foster a deeper sense of personal and collective responsibility toward the environment.

“Trash doesn’t disappear on its own, and neither does neglect get fixed without action,” said a member of the Volunteer Ministers. “Each individual effort contributes to a cleaner, safer, and more liveable city. Our aim is to lead by example and encourage responsible behavior toward our shared environment.”

Since beginning their efforts nearly three years ago, the group has gathered every Saturday morning in different parts of the city, equipped with gloves, bags, and determination. During recent clean-up events, volunteers collected approximately 80 large bags of waste in just a few hours — a tangible sign of progress in their ongoing mission.

These activities are carried out in coordination with local authorities, including AMSA (Azienda Milanese Servizi Ambientali) , which supports the logistical aspects of the clean-up operations. The collaboration ensures that the work remains effective and aligned with broader municipal sustainability goals.

More Than Cleanup: Education and Community Empowerment

Beyond physical clean-ups, the Church of Scientology in Milan hosts educational workshops, open events, and outreach programs aimed at schools, families, and institutions. These initiatives are designed to promote long-term behavioral change and foster a culture of environmental respect.

Through interactive presentations and hands-on learning experiences, participants gain practical tools for everyday life, rooted in ethical principles and problem-solving techniques derived from The Scientology Handbook . The program emphasizes self-improvement, communication, and community service — values that resonate far beyond any one religious or cultural boundary.

Free online courses based on these teachings are available globally, allowing individuals to study and apply them independently. The materials are accessible to people of all backgrounds and beliefs, making them a valuable resource for educators, youth leaders, and community organizers.

A Global Program with Local Impact

The Volunteer Minister Program was founded over fourty years ago by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. Originally developed as a humanitarian response to natural disasters and social crises, it has since evolved into a global network of trained volunteers who assist communities in need — whether through emergency relief, drug education, literacy support, or environmental protection.

Today, Volunteer Ministers operate in over 100 countries, responding to both human-made and natural disasters, offering aid where it is most needed. In Milan, on of their many focuses has shifted to addressing the slow-burning crisis of urban decay and environmental apathy — issues that affect cities across Europe and beyond.

Ivan Arjona-Pelado, Representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Institutions in Brussels and the United Nations in Geneva, commented:

“The actions taken by the Volunteer Ministers in Milan reflect a growing global awareness that sustainable change begins at the community level. As cities across Europe face increasing environmental challenges, grassroots movements like this one offer a model of cooperation, civic engagement, and real-world impact. The Volunteer Ministers are proof that when people come together with purpose and commitment, they can make a lasting difference — not only in their neighborhoods, but in shaping a better future for all.”

A Model for Urban Sustainability and Civic Participation

Milan, like many European cities, faces ongoing challenges related to waste management, illegal dumping, and the degradation of public spaces. While municipal services work hard to maintain cleanliness, citizen participation remains a critical factor in achieving lasting change.

The Volunteer Ministers’ weekly clean-up efforts serve as a model of how organized civic action can complement official environmental policies. By engaging directly with neighborhoods, raising awareness among residents, and encouraging others to join their cause, they are helping to build a more environmentally conscious and socially active community by setting the example.

The strength of this initiative lies in its simplicity, said a representative of AMSA, the city’s environmental services agency. It’s about ordinary citizens stepping up and doing something extraordinary for their city. We’re proud to support their efforts and hope this becomes a replicable model for other cities in Italy and abroad.

Global Recognition and Humanitarian Impact

The Volunteer Minister Program has earned widespread recognition for its contributions to humanitarian causes around the world. The Volunteer Minister Program has earned recognition through its global outreach, with over 200,000 individuals trained across more than 100 countries. As reported in their website, their efforts span disaster relief, anti-drug campaigns, literacy programs, and community empowerment initiatives, the program has responded to countless emergencies — from earthquakes and hurricanes to refugee crises and addiction epidemics.

Scientology and its affiliated humanitarian initiatives have been honored with numerous civic and international awards, including praise from UNESCO affiliated organizations, the U.S. Congress, and several European municipalities. These recognitions underscore the universal value of the Volunteer Ministers’ work — not only as a spiritual service, but as a vital force for good in society.

November 3, 2025

By

London, UK, 3rd November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As the UK gears up for one of its busiest holiday travel seasons, Global Airport Taxi (GAT) has announced a significant fleet expansion and operational boost ahead of the Christmas Market travel surge. With record numbers of domestic and international visitors expected to visit festive destinations like Manchester, Bath, Birmingham, and Edinburgh, the company is enhancing capacity to meet unprecedented demand for reliable airport transfers.

A magical holiday evening at the airport — sleek black Global Airport Taxi vehicles lined up under golden Christmas lights, ready to take travelers to their festive destinations. The warm glow of the sunset and decorative snowflakes create a welcoming atmosphere as passengers with luggage walk toward their taxis. In the distance, a glowing ferris wheel and Christmas market add to the joyful spirit of the season. Perfectly capturing the comfort, reliability, and festive warmth of Global Airport Taxi’s holiday transfer service.

According to recent travel forecasts, Christmas 2025 is set to see the highest passenger movement in five years, driven by a surge in tourism, retail events, and family reunions. Global Airport Taxi — a leading provider of nationwide airport and intercity transfers — is responding with increased vehicle availability, expanded driver scheduling, and a 24/7 festive operations command centre.

Meeting the Christmas Market Demand

The Manchester Christmas Markets, ranked among Europe’s finest, are expected to attract over 2 million visitors this year. With airports like Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, and Luton bracing for heavy holiday traffic, Global Airport Taxi aims to ensure smooth, on-time travel for both locals and tourists heading north to experience the city’s winter charm.

“Every Christmas, we see travel chaos — overbooked trains, long taxi queues, and last-minute cancellations,” said, Operations Director at Global Airport Taxi.
 “That’s why we’ve invested in expanding our nationwide fleet this year — so customers can enjoy guaranteed availability, fixed pricing, and a comfortable journey even during the busiest weeks of December.”

The company’s expanded operations will cover door-to-door transfers from all major UK airports to popular Christmas destinations — including Manchester, Birmingham, York, Oxford, and Edinburgh — offering travellers a stress-free start to their holiday experience.

More Cars, More Comfort: What’s New This Season

To handle the seasonal rush, Global Airport Taxi has:

✅ Increased its active fleet by 35% across London and the North of England.
 ✅ Added extra MPVs, executive saloons, and 8-seater minibuses for families and group travellers.

✅ Launched a real-time booking tracker to optimize pickup efficiency and reduce waiting times.
 ✅ Partnered with regional taxi affiliates to ensure availability during peak days like Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.

This proactive expansion is part of the company’s “Travel Smart, Travel Festive” campaign — an initiative designed to promote reliable, safe, and environmentally conscious travel during the holiday rush.

A Global Brand Ready for Local Festivities

Operating in over 150 international locations, Global Airport Taxi continues to bridge the gap between premium service and affordability. Its UK division — headquartered in London — is known for its transparent pricing, 24/7 customer support, and professional drivers.

This Christmas, the company’s Manchester operations hub will serve as a strategic centre for long-distance transfers from Heathrow to Manchester, Gatwick to Manchester, and London to Manchester Christmas Market routes — historically the most in-demand during December weekends.

“We’ve always believed that great travel begins before the destination,” added Jennifer Daniel, Head of Customer Experience.
 “By doubling our on-ground readiness this season, we’re making sure families, business travellers, and tourists reach their festive destinations on time — comfortably, safely, and happily.”

Supporting Tourism and Sustainability

Global Airport Taxi’s seasonal readiness also contributes to the broader UK tourism economy. With holiday markets generating millions in local revenue, efficient transport links play a crucial role in visitor satisfaction and return tourism.

Additionally, the company is taking measurable steps toward sustainability by gradually incorporating hybrid and electric vehicles into its winter fleet. The initiative aligns with the UK’s 2030 Net Zero emission goals, reflecting the company’s commitment to green mobility even during high-demand travel periods.

Samuel Drnda Rejects Multi-Million Dollar Acquisition Offers — Staying Independent to Build the Future of Decentralized Trading

Published

14 hours ago

on

November 3, 2025

By

While competitors get absorbed by exchanges, HyroTrader’s founder focuses on building the world’s first decentralized, multi-exchange prop trading infrastructure.

Prague, Czech Republic, 3rd November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE— In an era where billion-dollar acquisitions reshape the trading landscape, Samuel Drnda, founder and CEO of HyroTrader, made a bold and defining decision — he refused multiple acquisition offers worth tens of millions of dollars, choosing vision, innovation, and independence over a lucrative exit.

The offers followed the high-profile acquisition of Breakout by Kraken, one of HyroTrader’s main competitors. Shortly after, Drnda was approached by two of the world’s largest forex prop trading firms and one of the biggest global crypto exchanges, each seeking to fully acquire and absorb HyroTrader’s rapidly growing trading ecosystem.

“Each offer had the same condition — total control,” said Drnda.
“They wanted to buy everything we’ve built and integrate it into their structure. But HyroTrader was never built to be sold. It was built to change how the prop trading industry works.”

A Vision Too Big to Sell

Founded in 2020, HyroTrader quickly evolved from a trading platform into one of the fastest-growing crypto prop trading firms in the world, empowering over 30,000 active traders and achieving consistent month-over-month growth.

By 2024, HyroTrader was featured multiple times as the “Best Crypto Prop Firm” by leading trading and fintech media outlets — a recognition that reflected both its innovation and trader-first approach.

Today, HyroTrader is setting a new global standard with Hyro Protocol, the first decentralized, non-custodial crypto prop trading infrastructure built on Solana.

“From day one, our vision was to build a decentralized prop firm connected to multiple trading exchanges — a true on-chain ecosystem where traders, investors, and liquidity providers interact transparently,” said Drnda.
“We’re not just another prop firm. We’re creating the infrastructure for the next generation of crypto prop trading firms.”

From Bootstrap to Billion-Dollar Vision

HyroTrader’s rise is even more remarkable because it was built entirely without venture capital.

“In the early days, no VC wanted to invest even $200,000. We decided to bootstrap everything from scratch,” said Drnda.
“Now, the same institutions that once ignored us are offering tens of millions to acquire us. That’s the power of staying true to your mission.”

Today, HyroTrader operates profitably and independently, already valued in the hundreds of millions and on track toward becoming the first decentralized billion-dollar prop trading ecosystem.

Beyond Money: The Power of Purpose

Despite the life-changing offers, Drnda’s decision to remain independent was rooted in conviction, not calculation.

“I come from a middle-class family — the offers I received would have changed my life,” he said.
“But I’ve already achieved more than I ever dreamed of. At this stage, it’s not about money; it’s about building something meaningful with people I believe in and creating real impact for traders worldwide.”

After the refusal, Drnda earned even greater respect from the HyroTrader team, partners, and trading community, strengthening the company’s culture of purpose-driven innovation.

“Many founders dream of an exit. I dream of evolution — of building a decentralized, transparent, and trader-owned future.”

The Next Phase: Hyro Protocol

With Hyro Protocol, Drnda and his team are developing the foundation for the next generation of decentralized prop trading firms.
Built on Solana, the protocol will connect multiple trading exchanges into one unified infrastructure, allowing traders, investors, and liquidity providers to interact seamlessly and verifiably on-chain.

“Our mission is to democratize access to trading capital, remove intermediaries, and empower traders globally,” said Drnda.
“Hyro Protocol isn’t just another product — it’s the infrastructure that will power the decentralized trading economy.”

About HyroTrader

HyroTrader is one of the fastest-growing and most recognized crypto prop trading firms in the world, empowering more than 30,000 traders with performance-based funding and transparent trading conditions.
Featured multiple times as the “Best Crypto Prop Firm,” HyroTrader is now building Hyro Protocol — the first decentralized, non-custodial, multi-exchange trading infrastructure on Solana.

Founded by Samuel Drnda in 2020, HyroTrader’s mission is to democratize access to trading capital and build the foundation for the next generation of decentralized prop trading firms.
