Although it is so nice to reach out to you, it is with sorrow as Romel shared about the passing of the intrepid Dr.Tupasi.We greatly enjoyed working with Dr.Tupasi since 2006. TB Photovoice gained much insight from her guidance and steady mentoring.I remember meeting her in Seattle at a TB conference and she always listened deeply and had a warm smile to share.It was her life’ s work to fight for the rights of persons impacted by TB and we were so happy to help create a photovoice project in the Philippines with her through TDF.\n We send our love to the TDF family and to Dr.Tupasi’ s family as this is such a profound loss of a truly remarkable woman.

We will carry her spirit with us forever.
