Nation of Islam Members Receive Disaster Relief Training at the Scientology Information Center
Continuing their tradition of working with people of all faiths, the Church of Scientology Volunteer Ministers held an introductory First Aid Seminar at the Scientology Information Center in downtown Clearwater for 45 members of the Nation of Islam.
Clearwater, FL, November 11, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Certified EMT, Rev. Kieram Litchfield from the non-profit, Polaris International Disaster Response Team instructed attendees on how to apply tourniquets, the basics of CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver. Attendees also learned of the unique spiritual first aid to emergency situations called Assists, which were developed by L. Ron Hubbard and are used by Scientology Volunteer Ministers in relieving emotional shock and trauma. "Assists" are an adjunct to, but do not replace, medical procedures.
Mr. Shannon Barnes, certified EMT and member of the international disaster relief search and rescue team, Los Topos (which means “the moles” in Spanish, known for tunneling under debris of collapsed buildings to rescue trapped survivors of earthquakes and other such disasters) spoke to the group on volunteer disaster relief preparedness and staying safe in disaster zones.
“This training gave me a lot of insight and information on how to respond to disasters and help myself and others,” said Sister Annie Muhammad. “In any event I will use the information I learned today. I also intend to share this with my friends and family. I am very thankful for this training and all others that I received through the Church of Scientology.”
The Scientology Volunteer Ministers invites other groups and organizations to receive free training on disaster relief and Assists at their Clearwater Center, 101 N. Fort Harrison Ave., downtown Clearwater.
