Right after the earthquakes and tsunami hit Japan our Scientology Volunteer Ministers corps in Japan and neighboring countries were activated. In the first week following the disaster over 5,000 people were helped.

Japanese Scientology Volunteer Ministers are active in shelters to help with transport and distribution of water, food, hygiene articles and winter clothes.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers teamed up with Mexico-based disaster and rescue specialists Los Topos. With the help of the Volunteer Ministers corps several Los Topos teams help recover victims from the rubble or cut-off areas.
