8 Mar 2007 — Scientology Assist Technology Helps Children Recover from Yogyakarta Tornado
 
Within days of the Yogyakarta tornado striking, the Scientology Disaster Relief Team returned to the region to help with the clean-up and provide trauma relief to the people of the area.

The tornado that hit Yogyakarta destroyed more than 1,000 buildings.

An example of their recent work was their seminar at a local school that was destroyed by the twister. There wasn't a child or teacher who had not been directly affected by this disaster, so the entire student body and all the teachers — more than 1000 in all — were given a seminar in basic Scientology assist technology.

Scientology assists are simple procedures that anyone can learn. Developed by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion they help people overcome the emotional and spiritual side of the trauma, so they can recover fully from injury, stress or shock.

Scientology assists are procedures developed by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion, to help people who are ill, distraught or injured. While assists do not take the place of medical attention or first aid, they address the emotional and spiritual side of the trauma, enabling the person to recover fully from injury, stress or shock.

And the results were dramatic.

Over 1000 children and teachers from one school attended the Scientology assists workshop. The children were in such excellent spirits, they were even happier than before the tornado struck

In fact, the Coordinator of the School District was so impressed by the improvement, he personally thanked the leader of the Scientology Disaster Relief Team, and reported to parliament that not only were the Scientologists the first ones on the scene after the disaster, the trauma program they held for these students and teachers had remarkable results — and was completed in one week.

His report included the school principal's assessment of the program: that the children were in excellent spirits — they were even happier than before the tornado struck!
