The SSA Soka Chorus and Soka Junior Choir supported an event hosted by the United Nations Association of Singapore (UNAS) on October 24.

The two choirs presented a rendition of songs from diverse cultures in celebration of the event, which also marked United Nations Day 2013, as well as the beginning of the International Year of Water Co-operation and International Year of Quinoa (a traditional food staple cultivated in the Andes).
