“Scientologists bring help to the millions. But I can also tell you how Scientologists bring help to one: Me. Because following the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami that swept my city away, your members, the Volunteer Ministers, were there clearing away debris from our collapsed house in the hope that our family members were there. Your humanitarian attitude was touching to the core.”—Mr. Masami Saito, Member of Parliament for Miyagi Prefecture © 2025 Church of Scientology International. All Rights Reserved.

“In 2012, ‘legal herbs’ were spiraling out of control. Your information gave me the solid policy I needed. Our assembly officially chose to partner with your organization. Now, move forward to today, and there are no more shops that sell legal herbs, thanks to the Scientologists.”
