In Japan, HFW is engaged in educational and awareness raising projects.
These projects are carried out through the commitment of many volunteers, which is one of the characteristics of HFW.
Men and women of all ages are volunteering at places ranging from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south. In spite of this diversity among the participants, everyone has the same hope of creating a world free from hunger. The volunteers are carrying out activities including flea markets, study meetings, concerts, and exhibitions. |

We have been trying to enable the citizens of Japan to understand that we all have to consider hunger as our own problem, and calling for acts to stop hunger.
