Scientology.org published an article this week about the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour in India.
They are in Kolkata (I had always known this city as Calcutta).
Here's what it says:
The Scientology Volunteer Ministers India Goodwill Tour is working with the street-children of Kolkata to give them the tools they need to create a better future.
With over 4 million living in the slums of this city, known in the West as Calcutta, widespread illiteracy is a barrier to these street-children gaining the skills they need to move out of the slums and into mainstream society. This is compounded by increasing rates of drug addiction among children as young as 8 years of age, many of whom turn to crime to support their habits.
The Volunteer Ministers start their work with these youth by providing "group processing," a technique developed by
L. Ron Hubbard in the 1950s which can be run on large groups of people to help them increase their awareness and ability.
Volunteer Ministers are training up teams who can carry this program further into the community
Many of the Scientologists who have volunteered their time to carry out this goodwill tour in India are from Scientology churches in the United Kingdom.
