Hello! I'm Hisae Matsunaga.

I first learned about TFT on a TV program, and I was impressed immediately by the organization`s creative approach towards tackling the global problem of malnutrition. At its heart, TFT is a grass roots program with people from all over the world working in places all over the world to improve food security and cultures. I have had great experiences volunteering alongside wonderful people. TFT has brought positive change, and working together has also changed me for the better. Go TFT! (Hisae is the one on the far right)
