A Traditional Greeting for the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Asian Goodwill Tour

Twenty-four drummers from the Kai-Sheng Elementary School perform in front of the big yellow tent at the Grand Opening of the Asian Goodwill Tour.

Drums and dragons signaled the start of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Asian Goodwill Tour, which launched this week on Kinmen Island, a small island two kilometers off the coast of Fujian province of China, and 280 kilometers from the island of Taiwan.

The event began with the performance of 24 drummers from the Kai-Sheng Elementary School and a traditional dragon dance.

The magistrate of Kinmen County, Mr. Lee Juh-Feng, welcomed the Goodwill Tour to his island and joined with members of the team in cutting the ribbon, signifying the start of a tour that will take the Volunteer Ministers on their Oriental journey through Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Philippines.

The President of the Taiwan Church of Scientology, Mei-Tsu Lee, addressed the crowd attending the opening event, giving a description of the Scientology religion and the services the team can provide.

As with the Goodwill Tours in Southern Africa, Brazil, Russia, India and the South Pacific, these Volunteer Ministers will survey civic, government and religious leaders wherever they go, to find what they need to help their communities. With courses and seminars based on the Scientology Handbook by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology Volunteer Ministers prove, time after time, that Something CAN be Done About It.
