Her friends continue to uphold her wish and donate to SUA. Most of them come from humble backgrounds, but they save their money and donate to SUA to support Mr. Ikeda’s vision of world peace.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of so many people, including my family and community here and back home, my Pixar and PayPal mentors, and my Soka family. I am forever in your debt.
With the amount of craziness going on in the world right now, it’s my responsibility as a community member to go out there and put good in the world.
My goal for the future is to continue forging relationships with my Soka alumni family and to accomplish my dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur while encouraging people that face daunting professional, financial, and personal circumstances.
Supporting Soka makes us feel hopeful for the future of our planet and the happiness of all people, regardless of race, religion, or country of origin.
Mrs. Okabe determined to become a benefactor for Soka, as she did not have any surviving family or children of her own. She strongly wished to support SUA students as if they were her own children.
What students will remember is the connection they felt (or didn’t) throughout their school days. For some of them, it can become a turning point for their entire life.
