2009-11-05 08:03:35 - Seminar on children based on the Scientology Handbook delivered to mothers at the Ambrose Ofafa Academy in Kenya.

While their web site states the Scientology Volunteer Ministers will "deliver on-site workshops, seminars and courses one-on-one and to groups large or small," the request they received from the Ambrose Ofafa Academy of Kenya really put this policy to the test. But in the end they "passed," when the Church of Scientology Mission of Nairobi, with the help experienced Volunteer

Ministers from the United States, fulfilled the request, delivering a seminar on the raising of children on September 9 to a group of Maasai women. The Maasi are an East Africa people living in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania.

The Volunteer Ministers seminar covered information presented in the Scientology Handbook, a textbook based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard.
In the Handbook essay titled "How to Live with Children," in which Mr. Hubbard wrote, "A good, stable adult with love and tolerance in his heart is about the best therapy a child can have."

The essay continues, "The main consideration in raising children is the problem of training them without breaking them. You want to raise your child in such a way that you don't have to control him, so that he will be in full possession of himself at all times. Upon that depends his good behavior, his health, his sanity."
It was with these principles in mind that the Scientology Volunteer Ministers presented their workshop. To treat a child in this way requires skill in communication and control, so the seminar began with drills on the basics of these subjects. The seminar leader asked mothers list out all the problems they had experienced with their children. Specific chapters of the Scientology Handbook were then covered to provide them with tools that addressed these problems, leaving the women confident that they can help their children as never before.
