ABOUT THE FOUNDER
I am Nestor Pimienta, a student at Harvard. Growing up in a working class family in California ignited my passion to work with different communities for positive change. In undergrad at Loyola Marymount University, a worker asked me if I could tutor their child. I decided instead of me alone tutoring only this worker’s child, I could create a system to connect university students with the workers’ kids for one on one tutoring. This led to me starting my organization, Tutoring Tomorrow Today, or TTT. When I ran the program there, I realized after each tutoring session when people simply ate together, they began to build community. When I started my master’s of divinity at Harvard, I saw an opportunity.
I asked myself, what makes TTT what it is? What would be different if I started it at Harvard? After my first run of the program at Harvard in the spring of 2015, I realized that students, workers and workers’ kids sharing meals and sharing stories is how everyone learns about each others’ lives in simple and deep ways. Therefore, the meals are an essential part of this organization, especially in this crucial run for spring 2016. Now, before I graduate, is the time to show why TTT is important to people.
