🍎 “Even a single apple changed my life.” – Iskandar
Iskandar grew up in a small coastal village in Indonesia where opportunities were scarce and economic hardship was the norm. But when FH arrived in his community, everything began to shift.
What started with simple curiosity turned into a life of transformation. Through Kids Clubs, leadership training, and mentorship from facilitators like Mesrika and Pak Dalsen, Iskandar discovered something powerful: the will to learn could change everything. 💚
“There’s no pessimism in my life when it comes to the desire to learn,” he said. “Even if the economic situation is challenging, if we truly have the will to pursue our goals, we can definitely achieve them.”
And he did.
Today, Iskandar is a village secretary, a teacher of Pancasila and Civic Education, and a small business owner whose crab and anchovy business supports the local economy. He helps govern his village with wisdom and humility, teaches the next generation, and lives out what it means to give back.
“Without Food for the Hungry, I don’t know if I would be who I am today.”
His journey is a powerful reminder: when children are supported, believed in, and given the tools to grow, they don’t just change their own future - they change their entire community.
