“Seeds of Hope” Exhibition goes to Nanyang Polytechnic and UN Seminar

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.

Student Division Exhibition and Forum “My Mentor Daisaku Ikeda”

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.
