Andrea Ferrarini, formerly involved with civil protection in Bondeno, recalled Volunteer Ministers helping communities following the 2012 Emilia earthquake.
The Volunteer Ministers programme was established in 1976 by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology, the programme combines community assistance with disaster-response activities.
Inside the Bologna tent, visitors can view photographs and videos documenting Volunteer Ministers activities while learning about practical approaches to interpersonal difficulties and daily problems.
