Scientology Director at "The Right to Play" -- Not-So-Serious Business
Copenhagen - This year's Africa Day celebration in Copenhagen marked the inauguration of the "Right to Play Cup," a human rights soccer championship co-organized by the Danish African Soccer Academy (DASAC) and Youth for Human Rights Denmark". DASAC is the creation of former professional soccer player Hamid Faiz Junior and the event sought to encourage young African children in the city to become involved in sports, not drugs and crime.
The main attraction of the day was a soccer tournament, pitting the Star Team (Stjerneholdet), former professional athletes including past members of the national soccer team, against a team of African players.
The event raised funds to help build a playing field and school for a soccer academy Mr. Faiz runs for 300 street children in Malindi, Kenya.
The Copenhagen Football Association (KBU) invited all Copenhagen soccer clubs to attend and donate equipment for the Malindi, Kenya project. Among the well-known artists who provided entertainment for the day were the My Gospel Girls Youth Choir and Charles Kinga and the Reggaelution
The "Right to Play" cup gets its name from a phrase coined by Youth for Human Rights International to summarize the concept of article 24 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A video clip about this right, which appears on the Youth for Human Rights International web site, inspired this competition.
The Director of Public Affairs of the Church of Scientology of Denmark was one of the speakers at the event. She said "We support the Youth for Human Rights education campaign because human rights is a priority in our religion. Scientology Founder, L. Ron Hubbard, placed so much importance on human rights that he made it the first point in the Creed of the Church of Scientology: 'We of the Church believe that all men of whatever race, color, or creed were created with equal rights.' We are committed to seeing that all young people can be proud of who they are and accomplish their dreams."
Scientology Volunteer Ministers helped out behind the scenes at the EU Cup, 2008.Although more than a million fans converged on Austria for the EU Cup last month the entire event came off without incident. Behind the scenes of this and every huge international sports event are the men and women who see to the safety of those attending and handle any emergencies that arise--emergencies that could easily become catastrophes if not cared for quickly and competently.Those attending the EU Cup could relax and keep their eyes on the ball and their favorite teams and players because the emergency response personnel were keeping their eyes on security. And in appreciation for their work, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers European Cavalcade team decided to make their work a little easier by providing food and drinks to the police, firemen and other emergency workers who were looking out for the welfare of those attending the event.The Scientology Volunteer Ministers European Cavalcade arrived in Austria from the Slovak Republic in time for the EU Cup. There, they had spent several months providing one-on-one help and courses and seminars based on technology developed by Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard.
In July 2007 all fundamental books and lectures of L. Ron Hubbard had been re-released in a high quality form. I got a set and very soon, had a great win, on page 14 of the Dianetics book (DMSMH), where Ron is talking about perceptions.
I have been Clear for many years. When I read again about the perceptions being the comm lines with the universe, a little bit of invalidation I had picked up from others blew off and I had a great resurgence in certainty that my perceptions are right! And that any invalidation of them has come from the cases of others! Another part of this was reading that "the actual computing ability of Man is never in error..." any person computes perfectly on the data stored and perceived. I never realized how profound this is!

Scientology Churches Around the World Gear Up to Celebrate the Birthday of L. Ron Hubbard
L. Ron Hubbard
There
is a holiday unique to the Scientology religion, celebrated in
Scientology churches and missions around the world every year: March 13th — L. Ron Hubbard's Birthday.
Mr. Hubbard left behind a legacy of technology
that anyone can learn and use to accomplish greater happiness, ability
and spiritual freedom. It is because of this body of knowledge that The Aims of Scientology
can be accomplished: "A civilization without insanity, without
criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings
can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights."
Scientology churches and missions are
dedicated to accomplishing these aims and when they gather to honor
Ron, part of the celebration is a tradition that dates back to the
1970's called the LRH Birthday Game. Churches and missions around the
world compete with one another, and those with greatest expansion and
progress toward these aims are awarded as the year's "Birthday Game
winners."
This event is held each year in
Clearwater, Florida, the Scientology "Mecca" — the spiritual
headquarters of the religion. And this year is no exception.
On March 17th this year, at
Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida, thousands of Scientologists
will gather to honor the founder of their religion, get brought
up-to-date on news from around the world and cheer the churches and
missions announced as the winners of this year's game.
But they will certainly not be the only
ones to hear all the great news. In fact Golden Era Productions, a
division of Church of Scientology International, will film and edit the
event and get it to Los Angeles where it will be watched the following
evening by thousands of Scientologists and their friends at the Shrine
Auditorium.
Meanwhile, church staff in translations
units around the world will undertake the enormous job of making the
entire event available in 18 languages in time to get it shipped to
every church and mission the world over. They, in turn, will show it at
their own events, most of which are scheduled for the following weekend
on the 24th or 25th of March.
But this is certainly not all they will
see. There are surprises planned that promise to eclipse any
International Scientology event of the past. And you can read all about
it here after the event has taken place!
This is a Scientology church like none you've ever seen. It is stunning. The photos on their web site don't even do it justice, but you should go see it anyways.
In the firm belief that, “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights1,”
Scientologists of Frankfurt, Germany have decided to make the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights real to everyone in their city.
World War I was so savage and brutal it was named the “war to end all
wars." Yet a mere twenty years later the world was once again embroiled
in global conflict. And in the name of preventing a reoccurrence of the
infamous atrocities of World War II, in 1948 the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
was born, in the realization that — recognition of the inherent dignity
and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human
family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.”
One striking peculiarity about Los Angeles - today we almost have Alpen temperature, so please excuse me coming back to it - one thing peculiar about Los Angeles is the complete absence of a drainage system. Exciting, innit? It hardly rains, snow is something town kids know from TV and should the temperature sink to some 10 degrees Celsius everyone gets a cold almost immediately.
