The host of the evening will be Ms. Lisa Mansell, Public Affairs Director for the Church of Scientology FSO, who will talk about the history and purpose of World Humanitarian Day.

This day was created by the United Nations. It was first commemorated on August 19, 2009 and has continued each year after. In 2012, the “I Was Here” campaign celebrating the day had a social reach of over 1 billion people and was supported by American singer, Beyoncé.

 “World Humanitarian Day is dedicated to those who risk their lives in humanitarian service all over the world,” said Ms. Mansell. “We will be using this event to acknowledge all humanitarians and volunteers for their hard work in our communities.”

After acknowledging the volunteers in the audience, Ms. Mansell will turn the event over to the Church of Scientology’s Flag Band and Mr. Nathan Mitchell for a full concert performance.

Nathan Mitchell performs Gospel, R&B, Funk, Blues, and Smooth Jazz. His debut single For All Eternity, released in 2013, was coproduced by Grammy-winning guitarist Paul Brown and charted on Billboard’s Top 30. Mr. Mitchell also wrote and co-produced James Lloyd’s debut single Play it Forward which sustained eight weeks on Billboard’s Top 10 Smooth Jazz Chart.
