Our life has huge effects on world hunger and food problems (click for details). To solve those problems, it is necessary for each of us in Japan to take actions. HFW tell people to consider hunger as \u201ctheir own problem\u201d and to take actions to solve the problem by conveying people about situations in HFW\u2019s target areas and the connection between the hunger and people\u2019s life-style in Japan. Furthermore, HFW also provides opportunities for people in Japan to take actions easily by various volunteering activities and events such as \u201ccollecting unposted postcards\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Also, in this globalized international society, many expect Japan\u2019s efforts to solve global issues. HFW is collaborating with many NGOs\/NPOs, and is advocating for Japan to contribute to solve the world problems proactively and increase confidence from the global society by bringing voices from the civil society who speaks for the most vulnerable people.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"rightCol\">\n<p class=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hungerfree.net\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/japan1.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"sTxt\">HFW holds briefing sessions of their activities twice a month<\/p>\n<p class=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hungerfree.net\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/japan2.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"sTxt\">Symposium to inform people about the connection between their life in Japan and world hunger problems<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Four activities to foster joy of eating \u2013 Japan \u2013<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"genericon genericon-video\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hungerfree.net\/english\/category\/activity-report\/japan\/\">Activities<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\">\n<div class=\"leftCol\">\n<p class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin-top: 25px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hungerfree.net\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/fomat_il01en-150x150.png\" alt=\"Developing communities\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hungerfree.net\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/fomat_il01en-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.hungerfree.net\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/fomat_il01en-120x120.png 120w, https:\/\/www.hungerfree.net\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/fomat_il01en.png 168w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\">Developing communities<\/h3>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 175px;\">HFW staff at the head office support affiliate office staffs and HFW project site residents who implement development projects together.
