Scientology Volunteers provide needed humanitarian help after natural disasters in Venezuela

Published

Nearly 400 Volunteer Ministers have been mobilised between Caracas and La Guaira, with supplies, rescue coordination, emotional assistance and international support reaching families affected by recent natural disasters.

Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 2nd Jul 2026 — In the wake of recent natural disasters that have struck several areas of Venezuela, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers have mounted one of their largest humanitarian operations in the country, working in coordination with the Church of Scientology International, the Church of Scientology of Caracas, the Church of Scientology of Valencia, private-sector allies, national rescue groups and international emergency teams.

The operation is running around the clock and includes humanitarian assistance, logistical coordination, emotional and spiritual support, donation management, supply distribution and support for rescue teams working in the most affected zones. According to those involved in the response, the immediate priorities have included Caracas and La Guaira, while assistance has also reached other affected areas, including Morón and Tucacas.

Rhaiza Ojeda, Director of Scientology in Venezuela, said that the response has required continuous coordination between volunteers, donors, rescue personnel and families waiting for news of loved ones.

“We have received approximately 20 tons, including clothing, shoes, food, hygiene items, medicine, utensils for children, mats, safety boots for rescuers, headlamps for rescuers, picks, shovels, brooms and many other things,” Ojeda said in remarks from the relief operation. She added that much of what had arrived had already been distributed to those in need.

Ojeda said that the humanitarian teams are also identifying continuing needs, including infant formula, milk for older children, adult diapers for elderly people, and technical support for damaged structures and affected communities. “We have received supplies, but we have distributed almost all of them,” she said. “We are mainly supporting Caracas and La Guaira, because we consider them to be the two areas of greatest risk and greatest need.”

A major component of the operation has been cooperation with the Topos rescue organisation of Mexico, an internationally known search-and-rescue organisation with extensive experience in disaster zones. With logistical backing and field coordination from Scientology Volunteer Ministers, specialised rescue personnel have been supporting evaluation, rescue and technical assistance in the areas most affected by the disaster.

The Volunteer Ministers have also helped coordinate transport and movement of specialised personnel, supplies and humanitarian aid into affected zones, including support for rescuers, medical personnel, engineers and infrastructure specialists working to save lives and restore essential services.

Venezuelan actress and humanitarian Ruddy Rodríguez, who has been assisting and communicating from the relief effort, stressed that the response is not a brief appearance but a sustained commitment to families still facing uncertainty.

“I speak as a human being, not as an actress,” Rodríguez said. “I feel that at this moment Venezuela needs hopeful information. We must not discard or close the hope of life, because there is still life.”

She added that rescue and relief teams must continue to act with urgency. “Under that rubble, under all that earth, there are still people breathing, still people asking for help,” she said. “This is the beginning. This is not something to stay for a little while and then leave.”

According to Rodríguez, at the time of her remarks there were “almost 400 Volunteer Ministers divided between Caracas and La Guaira,” with additional volunteers and support expected from other countries. She noted that Volunteer Ministers and supporters had arrived from many countries, including Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil, the United States, Israel, Spain and others, with Mexican rescue teams also joining the effort. “Disaster unites us,” she said. “We all go to one place.”

The response has also extended beyond Latin America. European Scientologists have rallied to send assistance to Venezuela, and several volunteers from Spain have already joined the humanitarian forces on the ground, travelling to Venezuela to serve as Volunteer Ministers. Organisers said the international mobilisation reflects the broader Volunteer Ministers principle that, in the face of human suffering, practical help and human solidarity must move quickly.

In an interview with Noticias Ecovisión, Rodríguez described the emotional purpose of the relief effort as well as its logistical one.

“I think the most important thing right now, as any volunteer group, is to help strengthen, to rehabilitate hope, to rehabilitate the greatness, to truly rehabilitate all that is good and great in Venezuelans so we can keep going,” she said. “This is truly a very hard moment for all Venezuela, and I feel great pride in the love of Venezuelans for Venezuelans, and for the foreign countries that have had the opportunity to lend us their support, their rescue workers, their rescue dogs. Truly, thank you. I believe every Venezuelan feels truly grateful for that support.”

Rodríguez also emphasised that the work is open in spirit and purpose, focused on service rather than affiliation. “This is a long process. This is only beginning,” she said. “Those who want to be trained to help others, here in Valencia, and also in Caracas, we can train them so they can be Scientology Volunteer Ministers without needing to be Scientologists. There is no race here, no colour, no specific religion. We all work for one common purpose: to continue bringing well-being and helping the people of Venezuela, our people, who need it so much at this moment.”

Beyond material aid, Volunteer Ministers have been providing emotional support to survivors and to families waiting for information about missing relatives. Ojeda described lines of relatives seeking news and support near the centres of assistance.

“There is always a cordon of relatives eager to know what happened to their families,” Ojeda said. “We also attend to those groups. We look after the children. We are making sure they are well. If they are going to stay all night, we care for them, we attend to them, we give them emotional help.”

She described the work as “a crusade of humanity,” adding that Venezuelans must respond with empathy after a shock of this scale. “Right now, Venezuelans have to be truly empathetic with one another so we can support each other, stand behind each other, and get ourselves out of this shake-up we have experienced, which was very hard.”

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers programme was established by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion, and operates under the motto, “Something can be done about it.” The programme trains volunteers to provide practical assistance in times of disaster and social need, including support for individuals and families affected by loss, displacement and trauma. Volunteer Ministers have participated in relief work following earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires and other emergencies in numerous countries.

Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, said the Venezuelan operation illustrates the practical meaning of human dignity in a moment of crisis.

“What is taking place in Venezuela is a reminder that human rights and human dignity begin with the person in front of us,” Arjona said. “Food, water, a blanket, a trained volunteer, a rescue team that can reach a dangerous area, or a word of hope to a family waiting through the night — these are concrete expressions of human dignity. European Scientologists have not looked at this tragedy from a distance. Many are sending assistance, and volunteers from Spain have already travelled to Venezuela to stand alongside local teams and affected families. That spirit of service reflects the best of Europe’s civic tradition: responsibility, solidarity and respect for every human life.”

Arjona also thanked the International Association of Scientologists for the emergency support being provided in Venezuela, saying that the humanitarian effort demonstrates the importance of cooperation between religious communities, civil society, rescue specialists and private partners. “When public institutions, volunteers, faith-based groups, professionals and citizens work together, the response becomes faster, more humane and more effective,” he said. “In such moments, the question is not what separates people, but what can be done to help them.”

The current operation in Venezuela includes the reception, classification and distribution of food, drinking water, medicines, hygiene products, clothing, blankets, children’s supplies and safety equipment. Volunteer teams are also assisting with the organisation of centres for children and families, support for displaced communities and coordination of resources for those who have lost homes, relatives or essential belongings.

Representatives of the Volunteer Ministers said the scale of the emergency requires disciplined coordination as well as compassion. “When a tragedy of this magnitude occurs, every minute counts and every person can make a difference,” they said. “Our volunteers are working day and night to help save lives, support affected families and bring hope where it is most needed. Venezuela is showing once again that solidarity is stronger than any disaster.”

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. Across Europe and internationally, these activities reflect a continuing commitment to education, prevention and community betterment.

What to expect at Booth 13

Money Expo India is one of the largest financial industry gatherings in Asia, drawing retail traders, institutional investors, brokers, and fintech firms into one venue. For CentFX, the show is a chance to talk directly with one of the fastest-growing retail Forex communities in the world.

Anyone stopping by Booth No. 13 can see the platform run live, open or review an account with the team on hand, and ask questions about trading conditions face to face.

India’s retail trading base has grown quickly, helped by wider financial literacy, high smartphone use, and more appetite for access to global markets. CentFX supports Hindi, Bengali, and seven other languages, and runs on the full MetaTrader 5 ecosystem across desktop and mobile, which makes it a practical option for Indian traders who want professional conditions without a steep learning curve.

XORKETS FX: We Will Give It Our All

Published

1 day ago

on

August 15, 2026

By

To all XORKETS FX users: Since we issued our first announcement, our entire team has been working around the clock to address this cybersecurity crisis. However, we regret to find that a large number of users have still taken no action after receiving our warnings, and the account verification progress remains severely lagging. Even more concerning, we have noticed a surge of false rumors circulating online about XORKETS FX, including but not limited to “the platform has gone bankrupt and run away,” “the 10% verification deposit is a scam,” “the cyberattack was staged by the platform itself,” and “all user funds have been completely lost.” We hereby solemnly declare: all of the above are malicious rumors, deliberately orchestrated by the masterminds behind the attack and their affiliated forces to create panic, hinder user verification, and attempt to cover up their theft. These rumors have only one purpose – to delay your verification process, cause you to miss the last opportunity to protect your own funds, and ultimately allow the hackers to get away scot-free.

 

You must clearly understand this: today, August 14, is the final day. Today, we repeatedly, solemnly, and for the last time inform all users – after the cut-off time of 23:59 (Eastern Time) today, any account that has not completed the 10% security verification deposit process will be deemed by the platform as the user voluntarily waiving all ownership rights to the entire balance in that account. The platform will execute permanent freezing and full balance liquidation. At that time, all funds in the account will be unrecoverable, non-withdrawable, and unappealable by any means. The account will be permanently closed and cannot be reactivated. Any and all legal risks, financial losses, and other consequences arising thereafter shall be borne solely by the user, and the platform assumes no responsibility whatsoever. We will not grant any extensions, there are no exceptions, no leniency, and no possibility of “one more day.” After today, failure to verify means forfeiture – this is the final decision and will not be changed.

 

Why must we do this? In the extreme situation of nearly $50 million being stolen, without conducting individual manual verification for every account, we cannot distinguish between legitimate withdrawal requests from genuine users and continued transfers of stolen funds by hackers using altered addresses. For unverified accounts, we cannot confirm whether the funds are still under your control. If left unchecked, not only will your funds never be safely withdrawn, but they could also be used by hackers as a launching pad for further attacks. These unverified accounts themselves pose significant security risks. Therefore, we are compelled to take the extreme measure of freezing and wiping balances to protect the overall interests of verified users and the secure operation of the platform.

 

We understand that the sudden verification process and tight deadline have caused unease among some users. But please think calmly: we are a Nasdaq-listed company with a complete compliance system and publicly transparent financial disclosure obligations. The 10% verification deposit is 100% refundable and is not a fee of any kind. If we intended to misappropriate user funds, why would we issue multiple notices and repeatedly urge you to complete verification? Rumors stop with the wise. Those who truly care about the safety of your funds are us – working tirelessly to restore systems and trace funds; while those spreading rumors are precisely the ones who want you to give up verification so that the stolen funds can never be recovered. Please act immediately – today is your last chance. Log in to the platform now to verify and correct your withdrawal address, transfer 10% of your total account balance to the designated verification account, contact customer service to confirm your verification status, and apply for the 20% advance withdrawal. Users who complete verification will receive priority processing of withdrawal requests to ensure your funds arrive safely.

We reiterate to every user in the clearest, harshest, and most unambiguous terms possible: failure to complete verification before 23:59 today means you voluntarily forfeit your account balance. Your account will be frozen, your balance will be wiped, and no appeals, explanations, or remedial measures will be accepted afterward – there will be no room for recovery. Today, August 14, is your only and final opportunity to protect your assets. Do not hold out hope for “tomorrow.” Do not trust information from any unofficial channels. Do not hesitate because of rumors. Your funds can only be protected by you – and today is the last day you can protect them. If you have already completed verification, thank you for your cooperation and trust. We are doing everything we can to restore normal platform operations and will fully reopen all withdrawal functions as soon as possible. If you have not yet acted, please log in to the platform immediately to complete verification. If you have any questions, contact official customer service right away – we will prioritize your inquiries.

Kara4Kids Expands Early Childhood Education Across India With Inclusive, Play-Based Learning

Published

2 days ago

August 15, 2026

By

India, 15th Aug 2026 — Kara4Kids, an early childhood education and childcare provider with more than 18 years of experience, is strengthening its presence across India with preschool, daycare and early learning programs designed to support children during their formative years. With more than eight locations across Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad, Kara4Kids offers families a range of programs focused on learning, development, safety and inclusive care.

The organization currently has admissions open for the 2026–27 academic year, providing families with access to preschool and childcare programs for young children. Its preschool programs generally serve children approximately 2 to 6 years of age, while infant and toddler care and other childcare options are also available.

At the center of Kara4Kids’ educational philosophy is an approach that combines play-based, inquiry-based and project-based learning. Rather than relying solely on conventional classroom instruction, the learning environment encourages children to explore ideas, ask questions, participate in activities and develop skills through age-appropriate experiences.

Kara4Kids incorporates a STREAM approach, together with Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP), to create learning experiences aligned with children’s developmental stages. The approach supports multiple areas of childhood development, including cognitive, language, physical, social and emotional growth.

The programs are designed to provide children with opportunities to build communication skills, develop curiosity, interact with peers and gain greater independence in an environment structured around their developmental needs. Activities and learning experiences are adapted to encourage participation and discovery while helping children establish foundational skills for their next stages of education.

A key aspect of Kara4Kids’ model is its emphasis on inclusive early childhood education. The organization provides an environment that accommodates children with different learning and developmental needs, including special-needs care. This focus on inclusion aims to create learning spaces where children can participate, interact and develop alongside their peers while receiving appropriate support.

Beyond classroom learning, Kara4Kids places importance on maintaining an active connection between educators and families. Parent-teacher workshops, progress updates, family events and guidance for learning at home are part of its parent involvement initiatives. By encouraging communication between parents and educators, the organization seeks to provide families with a clearer understanding of children’s progress and ways to support continued learning beyond the classroom.

Safety and wellbeing are also central to the Kara4Kids experience. Its childcare and preschool environments are designed around child-safe campuses, hygiene protocols and health monitoring practices. Low teacher-student ratios are intended to support attentive supervision and enable educators to respond more closely to children’s individual needs.

The organization’s work in early education has also received recognition from several education-focused organizations and platforms, including EducationWorld, Education Today, Times Education Excellence, ScooNews/Global Education Awards and the India Didactics Association.

More recently, Kara4Kids received a Certificate of Excellence for Innovation in Early Childhood Development at the Global Education Awards 2026. The recognition reflects the organization’s continued focus on developing approaches to early learning that combine educational innovation with children’s developmental needs.

With its expanding presence across Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad, Kara4Kids continues to provide families with preschool, daycare and childcare options under one educational framework. Its offerings include preschool education, daycare, infant and toddler care, after-school care, emergency daycare and inclusive care for children with special needs.

As families consider educational and childcare options for the coming academic year, Kara4Kids is currently welcoming admissions for 2026–27. The organization remains focused on creating early learning environments where children can explore, develop essential skills and build positive foundations for lifelong learning.
