Humanitarian Application of L. Ron Hubbard Technology

L. Ron Hubbard’s technologies for drug rehabilitation and detoxification, criminal reform, learning, literacy and his common sense guide to better living—The Way to Happiness—have touched close to a billion lives in some 170 nations.

Just one example amongst many is Leeuwkop Prison—the notoriously ruthless maximum-security facility outside Johannesburg, South Africa. Following implementation of Criminon—the rehabilitation program based on L. Ron Hubbard’s breakthroughs in the field—cellblock violence was all but eliminated. In acknowledgment of the astonishing impact of Mr. Hubbard’s technology, Leeuwkop inmates presented him with the following award, inscribed in part: “You have brought hope to the lives of many. You have changed our South African prisons of pain and sorrow to places of hope and life.”

In yet another prison, equally astonishing results prompted Panama’s Chief of Internal Security to bestow an official recognition upon L. Ron Hubbard for “his helpful humanitarian work and functional spiritual technology which is helping every person in the custody of the Centro Femenino de Rehabilitacion Cecilia Orillac de Chiari Prison, as well as creating new families.” >>

Scientology-Sponsored Humanitarian Programs

A very well crafted video, in my opinion, that presents an overview of what we Scientologists do.  I believe it speaks for itself.

Don and Kalendi Engle — Two Chefs with the Recipe for a Happy Life

Don and Kalindi Engle are Detroit-area Scientologists.  Don is an executive chef and Kalindi is a pastry chef.  Both are featured in Scientology.org on the video channel.

Don’s story:

Whether preparing a perfect sauce, dishing out 2,500 meals a day at the Detroit Athletic Club, or creating a fresh nuance to a classic pasta dish, chef Don Engle adds a pound of energy and a pinch of optimism to everything he does.

Working as a cook since he graduated from high school in Detroit, Engle, now 42, learned a word that opened his eyes to a career he loves.

“A new manager at the restaurant where I worked was a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America.  I had never even heard the word ‘culinary’ before,” says Engle.  “When I found out what it meant, I knew I wanted to be a chef.”>>

And Kalindi’s story:

“Where I grew up, girls didn’t go to school,” says Kalindi Engle. “I always wanted to study, but I couldn’t learn to read and write.”

In a video featured on the new Scientology Video Channel at www.Scientology.org, Engle, 41, tells how she used the technology of study developed by L. Ron Hubbard to become literate and educate herself.

Growing up in West Bengal, India, Engle’s parents arranged her marriage, when she was just 15, to a man from Detroit, Michigan. Although her husband was a kind man and she always respected him, she was unhappy in the marriage and five years later, certain it was not going to get better, she moved into a one-room apartment with her young son and divorced him. >>
