"The Salvation Army is the most efficient of the more than 600,000 fundraising organizations in the United States," Dragger said. (Forbes August 11, 1997 issue) In addition, in rescue activities that are said to be more difficult than collecting, the Salvation Army does not leave it to the government, but an officer (pastor) hands it directly to the victims. I have been making donations to the Salvation Army since the Showa era, hoping that such an organization would make use of my donations, but mysteriously, I have received many blessings for my business.

I have been supporting the Salvation Army for 25 years. I have witnessed how effective their community services are. Their staff and volunteers are highly motivated professionals to alleviate social issues such as alcohol and drug rehabilitation, homelessness, teenage pregnancy, suicide prevention, and support for first-time responders and authorities in the event of a disaster. Administrative overhead cost is very low and donations and financial support are used for the general purpose of the community.

While studying Christian history during my college years, especially religious reformation, I serialized a four-frame manga called "denomination anthropomorphic manga Puritan." In the manga, I drew the character "Kyuseigun san" and I had an opportunity to officially interview the Salvation Army. Currently, I am drawing illustrations for pamphlets. I want more people to recognize the works and history of the Salvation Army which is actively and concretely working to resolve social issues. I hope to help the works of the Salvation Army!
