Kids helping kids is the message when Youth for Human Rights Florida members ice-skated in support of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights #25, “Food & Shelter For All”. The group raised $500 toward building a children’s home for Dominican Republic orphans, abused children and other needy children.

The funds go to finalizing the construction of a new facility for the home run by Pastor Domingo A. Lopez. Pastor Lopez said he started the home when he realized the “Dominican Republic is a needy country with social and economic problems, yet has ample opportunities where the church can develop beneficial programs to help children, young adolescents, families, and the nation, both culturally and spiritually.”

Youth for Human Rights Florida, a Chapter of Youth for Human Rights International, educates teachers, students and community groups about our 30 human rights with an award-winning educational program. The program consists a youth-designed DVD of the 30 rights as stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “The Story of Human Rights” a powerful DVD that defines human rights of the past and today, and the evoking music video “UNITED” conveying the message anti-bullying and human rights. The Human Rights Department of The Church of Scientology is a proud supporter of Youth for Human Rights International.
