Scientology Volunteers and Muslim Residents Cooperate on Neighbourhood Cleanup

PADUA, Italy — Volunteers from different religious and cultural backgrounds joined forces in Padua for a neighbourhood cleanup on 4 October 2026.
Scientology Volunteer Ministers worked alongside members of local Muslim, Bangladeshi and Pakistani communities to remove approximately 50 kilograms of waste from the Borgomagno neighbourhood.
The volunteers concentrated their efforts around the railway overpass, an area affected by recurring waste disposal.
The project reflected a continuing pattern of cooperation between Scientology and Muslim volunteers in Padua.
Similar activities were organised Environment in September, including cleanups around Via Rubaltelli and the Stanga neighbourhood.
Beyond the immediate environmental benefits, these activities illustrate how people with different beliefs can cooperate on issues of common concern.
The Scientology Volunteer Ministers programme, established by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard in the 1970s, supports practical assistance and community service.
Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, emphasised the connection between cooperation and respect for diversity.
"Respect for different beliefs becomes especially meaningful when it is accompanied by cooperation," Arjona said.
The Padua initiative reflects the broader value of cooperation among citizens regardless of religion or cultural origin.
Across Europe, Church of Scientology organisations and their members support educational, humanitarian and community programmes, including environmental volunteering and human rights awareness.
