This was never something I heard much about previously, but now that their news has been showing up on ScientologyToday, I decided to snoop around a bit and find what I could find. First off, just in checking out photos of the place, I'm still sold that New Zealand where I'd be living if I could have my choice. It's beautiful!

However, it's not without the same problems as any other country, including massive problems with drugs, as well as the attendent violence and crime. Now, if you were at the Celebrity Centre Gala in 2004 or at the Church of Scientology of Buffalo Grand Opening (like I was, luckily enough), you would have heard Mr. David Miscavige speak about the strenuous work that Scientologists are putting in on the anti-drug front, with drug education, drug prevention, and drug rehabilitation high on the list of things active Scientologists are engaged in -- not only "engaged in" though, but actually effective at.

See below example, from the story of Scientologists who are spreading the message that drug use is not drug education, and that education on drugs can lead to drug free lives:

The public service announcement promoting "The Right to Education" is released in the Philippines.

As they near the completion of their 2006 World Tour, Youth for Human Rights International travelled to the Philippines where they met with educators and civil and community leaders who embraced the goal of the group — to make human rights a global reality.

Human rights is a vital issue in the Philippines where millions of people live in urban slums lacking sanitation and water, many fall victim to sexual trafficking and poverty all too often forces children into the job market.

Pastor Solomon had a course room set up in Mochudi, Bostwana, for the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour to provide training to his congregation and their children.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers African Goodwill Tour is providing help to the people of Mochudi, Botswana. With a population of 40,000 people, Mochudi, is about 37 km (23 miles) northeast of Gaborone, the capital of the country.

Hearing about the successes the Volunteer Ministers have had in other towns and villages in the country, Mochudi residents were very interested in the Scientology Volunteer Ministers program.

Pastor Solomon asked the Goodwill Tour to deliver a workshop to the children of the village on the chapter of a Scientology Handbook by L. Ron Hubbard called Study Skills for Life. To deliver the workshop, a course room was set up in a matter of days, and is now open on Saturday and Sundays in the church.
