“Creating a better future Requires creativity in the present.” ― Matthew Goldfinger To be honest I have no idea who Matthew Goldfinger is (he's not even realy googleable if you can believe it!), but his quote stands true! At TFFT, we often wear many hats: teacher, sister, fundraiser, tour guide, diaper changer, monitoring and evaluation

I cannot rest until I achieve my highest goals in life

Since 2008 when I got the TFFT scholarship, it was my second chance of living. The support that I am getting from The Foundation For Tomorrow has led me to set up my own goals and realize the purpose of this opportunity. Right now I can manage on my own because I have enough life

WELCOMING KELLY!

It is with so much so joy that we announce Kelly Albertson as TFFT's Director of Operations. When we first attempted to create the job description, Meghann and I decided that we were looking for Batman. We needed someone who would bridge the US Office and the TZ Office in a way that resulted in
