Despite his body being in a poor condition, President Ikeda cannot help but to encourage the members no matter where he went.​

After encouraging members at the Matsuyama Community Centre, Shin’ichi Yamamoto headed by car to the Niihama Community Centre in nearby Niihama City. ​

​He felt chilled and sluggish. Being constantly on the move had worn him out. He had a slight fever, and he wanted to get to bed early that night. ​​

But when he arrived at the community centre, he toured the facility and then took some time to talk with the caretaker and his family. Shin’ichi wished to show his sincere appreciation to those who supported the organisation behind the scenes. No matter how exhausted he was, whenever he saw people exerting themselves, he couldn’t help but encourage them wholeheartedly.
