Hurricane Katrina
On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina, a Category 4 hit the southern part of the United States, destroying much of the coast of Mississippi, Louisiana, and parts of Alabama. The SGI-USA Southeast Zone and South Central Region leaders contacted each member individually. Members from all across the United States united to give encouragement and assist members throughout the southeast. Also in support, SGI President and Mrs. Ikeda sent several messages to the SGI-USA members. One message read: “My wife and I are very concerned about the effects of the hurricane. We are chanting and sending our sincerest prayers for all the people in those affected areas.” |
