The Deputy Mayor expressed his enthusiasm for the Scientology Goodwill Tour by saying, "The Volunteer Ministers could not have come at a better time. We are focused on improving education and the Volunteer Ministers offer a study program teaching a technology of how to study. Drugs are a growing problem here and the Volunteer Ministers have answers to helping people come off drugs. This group has the message which says: No matter how big the problem may seem, something CAN be done about it."
The Minister of Youth & Sports spoke next and spoke of his intention to take advantage of the Scientology Disaster Response Training and looked forward to getting the Volunteer Ministers to help with tackling Fiji's different social ills.
And as the celebration came to a close, the work of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers began.

Nurses came to the tent to be trained on Scientology Assists, hundreds of people were toured through the tent and there were lectures given that are based on the Scientology Handbook.

Assists are techniques developed by
L. Ron Hubbard. They operate on the principle that one tends to withdraw mentally or spiritually from an injured area. Only by restoring communication with this area can one bring the spiritual element into healing, thereby greatly speeding the healing process. Assists are used to alleviate stress and physical aches and pains, or to orient a confused or distraught individual to his present environment.
