 Seoul, Dubai, and Nairobi

I apologize those English readers for not writing in English blog. I confess that after writing in Japanase, I get tired writing again.. So this time, I decided to write in English first, and probably don't get this in Japanese....

Well, any way, in last two weeks, I have been traveling Seoul, Dubai and Nairobi. Seoul was to meet new person in charge for Pangaea activity at Mizy Center, Cathy, and meet with many new volunteers for facilitators, and run an activity with children. This was done in two days.... But meeting with many fresh faces who many of them now come to facilitator training program next month was a great fun! Also YouRi who was a former Mizy person in charge of Pangaea came in to help! It is so nice to see these understanding helping hands. I really enjoy being in Seoul. I wish I learn more Korean words quickly. But little by little, I am learning. Word like Kiyoputa, Cute.

Then we flew to Dubai, meeting professor at new unidersity, who was born in Syria. We got lots of useful information from him and also my highschool friend who now stationed in Dubai. Pangaea definetely want to do activities in Arab. Now, my good friend Greg, English, no he will say Scotish? who has been supporting Pangaea from the very start will help us in this area, too.

Now I am writing this in rainy Nairobi. We have done a small activity last week, and we have been

talking to Broadband provider, UNESCO, school teacher, radio station, etc. So we keep ourselves quite busy. But I must say that this trip turn out to be very fruitful one. I will let all of you know soon!!! I can see you are saying "Oh, Com'mon Yumi, Tell Us.! " Well, be patient, dear.
