| KL YWD Day |
This year’s Young Women Division (YWD) day marks the first anniversary of the founding of Ikeda Kayo-Kai, a young women's leadership training group. YWD members of SGM have gathered for commemorative meetings in their respective locality.
SGI YWD Leader Mitsuko Tateno also sent a congratulatory message for the occasion. In the message, she shared that in April 2009, the "World Ikeda Kayo-Kai" apricot tree was planted to commemorate the launch of the "World Ikeda Kayo-Kai" in the Apricot Hill located near the Makiguchi Memorial Hall, Hachioji, Tokyo. President Ikeda says that the significance of planting a tree is to "plant life" and the apricot garden symbolises the hope-filled "century of women" where he determined to watch over this garden as though he is watching over the young women – as a way of expressing his gratitude towards his mentor and his earnest wish for the happiness and victory of the women and young women divisions.
