DISASTER RELIEF
HURRICANE KATRINA
Scientology Volunteer Ministers Help Katrina Survivors in 22 Shelters
Nearly 600 Scientology Volunteer Ministers now man 22 shelters and facilities for the evacuees in Louisiana and Mississippi, including ten in Baton Rouge, eight in New Orleans and two animal shelters where the Volunteer Ministers are caring for homeless pets. More than 300 additional volunteers are also on the way.
Teams of Volunteer Ministers are now spreading out to outlying areas that have not received the help they need from relief agencies. These areas include St. Bernard's Parish and Gretna in Louisiana, and Gulfport and Biloxi in Mississippi.
One Scientology Volunteer Minister team headed by a doctor and several registered nurses has administered 3,000 tetanus shots to police officers, firemen and other rescue service personnel. Vaccine for at least another 5,000 inoculations is badly needed. Thus, Volunteer Ministers in Los Angeles, in coordination with other religious leaders are urgently requesting the donation of more tetanus vaccine.
For more information call the VM Hotline 1-800-435-7498 (US & Canada) or from outside North America call 1-323-960-1949 or e-mail vm@volunteerministers.org
