When Aruba closed its borders, the Sea Org Motor Vessel Freewinds, Scientology’s humanitarian ship, was docked in port. With a complete lockdown on all international incoming tourists, the island’s lifeblood, the Freewinds launched an all-Aruba education initiative, distributing Stay Well booklets to every resident on the island.
Freewinds Volunteer Ministers teamed up with Aruba’s Fire Brigade to implement government protocols island-wide. Together, they prepared churches and schools for reopening. In total, they sanitized every public school on the island—all to the benefit of some 26,000 students.
The Volunteer Ministers from the Freewinds and Aruba’s firefighters covered still more ground, sanitizing government, civic and cultural institutions—more than 4 million square feet sanitized.
