Humanitarian
AWARDS & RECOGNITIONS

Mr. Hubbard’s technologies for drug rehabilitation and detoxification, criminal reform, learning, literacy and his common sense guide to better living—The Way to Happiness—have touched close to a billion lives in some 200 nations.

Honorary Award — Leeuwkop Prison

Presented to L. Ron Hubbard by the inmates of South Africa’s Leeuwkop Prison in acknowledgment of his criminal reform technology: “You have brought hope to the lives of many. You have changed our South African prisons of pain and sorrow to places of hope and life.”

Just one example amongst many is Leeuwkop Prison—the notoriously ruthless maximum-security facility outside Johannesburg, South Africa. Following implementation of Criminon—the rehabilitation program based on L. Ron Hubbard’s breakthroughs in the field—cellblock violence was all but eliminated. In acknowledgment of the astonishing impact of Mr. Hubbard’s technology, Leeuwkop inmates presented him with the following award, inscribed in part: “You have brought hope to the lives of many. You have changed our South African prisons of pain and sorrow to places of hope and life.”

In yet another prison, equally astonishing results prompted Panama’s Chief of Internal Security to bestow an official recognition upon L. Ron Hubbard for “his helpful humanitarian work and functional spiritual technology which is helping every person in the custody of the Centro Femenino de Rehabilitacion Cecilia Orillac de Chiari Prison, as well as creating new families.”

Official Recognition — Dangerous Drugs Board, Office of the Philippine President

Awarded to Mr. Hubbard by the Chairman of the Dangerous Drugs Board, for “his humanitarian work in the field of drug education and drug rehabilitation and for his relevant technologies which are adopted and implemented in the Philippines...thus contributing immeasurably to the successful pursuit of our noble vision of a drug-free country.”

Then there is L. Ron Hubbard’s technology for drug rehabilitation and detoxification, now in operation across some 50 nations. Prompted by the effectiveness and success of these programs, the Chairman of the Philippines’ Dangerous Drugs Board presented L. Ron Hubbard with a plaque formally acknowledging him for “his humanitarian work in the field of drug education and drug rehabilitation and for his relevant technologies which are adopted and implemented in the Philippines...thus contributing immeasurably to the successful pursuit of our noble vision of a drug-free country.”

Mr. Hubbard’s detoxification regimen is likewise recognized for miraculous results in the rehabilitation of New York firefighters and rescue workers suffering in the wake of 9/11. Specifically, the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project—employing L. Ron Hubbard’s groundbreaking technology—addressed the physical problems of those exposed to unprecedented levels of toxic dust, fumes and vapor at Ground Zero. Following the project’s unmitigated success, NY City firefighters bestowed upon Mr. Hubbard an Honorary New York Firefighter’s Helmet, inscribed with the following: “To our brother, L. Ron Hubbard, from your brothers at the New York City Fire Department, we honor you with this helmet, a symbol of our motto, ‘to protect life and property’ which the legacy of your technology embodies, 2 August 2003.”

As for L. Ron Hubbard’s educational technology, not only is it currently applied in some 70 countries on six continents, but with more than 30 million students having participated in those programs, the influence of Mr. Hubbard’s breakthroughs is felt across entire nations.

Accordingly, L. Ron Hubbard has received the W.E.B. DuBois Outstanding Leadership Award from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), as well as an official recognition from the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) for innovative technology which has “brought renewed hope to children and adults across the nation through improved literacy and understanding.”
