“Thank you #TOFA for recognizing our efforts to fight for #ZeroHunger everyday of our lives. #AboutLa
“Studying in Boston for 7th grade, we took a field trip to New York by bus, 3 hours away. I remember seeing the U.N. Headquarters for the first time & seeing so many flags waving in thé air. I thought, one day, I'm coming back here. And exactly 10 years later, at 22, my dream came true through the U.N. World Food Programme (W.F.P.) to be surrounded by real-life heroes is humbling, empowering, inspiring. Thank you #TOFA for recognizing our efforts to fight for #ZeroHunger everyday of our lives. #AboutLastNight #GlobalFilipino #NYC @carysantiago,” she said.
