A month-long project of the SSA Student Division (SD), code-named HR30 and themed “Treasure Everything”, aimed to have the youths engage in simple acts of kindness and compassion that give meaning to the phrase “sharing the joy and suffering of others.”
“The determination to share the joys and sufferings of others” is one of three commitments that SGI President Ikeda shared in his 2013 Peace Proposal.

The “Seeds of Hope: Visions of Sustainability, Steps towards Change” – an exhibition jointly initiated by the Soka Gakkai International and the Earth Charter International and highlighting how one individual can initiate positive change in one’s community – was introduced recently to three local institutions of learning.
Brimming with the noble mission to share the philosophy of hope and courage in people’s hearts, SSA’s Student Division (SD) members studying at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) came together to spread the message that “one individual can make a difference to one’s community” with the “Seeds of Hope: Visions of Sustainability, Steps towards Change” exhibition at ITE College East (Simei Campus) on January 29.
The “Seeds of Hope: Visions of Sustainability, Steps towards Change” Exhibition was displayed at the Republic Polytechnic (RP) from December 10 to 12.
The eighth Student Peace Lecture (SPL), titled “The Boons and Banes of Social Media: Can social media harness the goodness in us?”, was held on December 8 at the Mochtar Riady Auditorium of the Singapore Management University.
On December 12, members and friends of SSA Student Division (SD) filled the Mochtar Riady Auditorium at the Singapore Management University for the Seventh Student Peace Lecture (SPL). This year’s lecture, themed “Fiction, Imagination and the Surprises They Bring”, was delivered with refreshing passion and humour by distinguished writer and the first recipient of the Singapore Literature Prize in 1992, Ms Suchen Christine Lim. Ms Helen Choo, Principal of Tampines Junior College and long-time friend of Ms Lim, chaired the lecture.
For more than a year, SSA Student Division members from Nanyang Polytechnic had been tirelessly sharing about the meaningful and empowering message conveyed through the “Seeds of Hope: Visions of sustainability steps towards change” exhibition amongst student clubs and their lecturers. Their efforts culminated in the holding of the exhibition, which is a joint initiative by the Soka Gakkai International and the Earth Charter International, at the school’s Atrium in conjunction with NYP Friendship Day on 13 July 2011. The exhibition attracted some 250 viewers, many of whom were so inspired that they penned their pledge for peace on a pledge card after learning from the exhibition.
SSA Student Division (SD) members held their annual June project in the form of an exhibition and forum titled “My Mentor Daisaku Ikeda” on 11 June 2011 at the SSA Headquarters. The event saw an attendance of more than 600 members and friends. Spanning across three levels of the Headquarters building, the exhibition featured diverse aspects of SGI President Ikeda’s life, from his family and youth to his achievements and endeavours for the peace and happiness or all people. The theme that underscored the event was the profound bond between President Ikeda and his mentor Josei Toda, and by extension, the bond between the SD students and President Ikeda, which they endeavoured to forge through the preparations for this event.
