 Sep 2007 Newsletter: Pangaea ring - Mr. Bernhard Damisch

When we experienced Pangaea for the first time, we were very curious and intrigued by it. At the first visit of Yumi and Toshi, watching the two communicate with the children using the pictons was beyond our imagination and we were totally fascinated by the scene.


For the children here, it is an enormously enriching experience to participate in Pangaea, and they are proud of making a village on the network. Only the complicated security - restrictions break their eagerness a little. It might be preferable, if they could be connected on-line each time.

We are looking forward to Pangaea's further growth, and we hope that there may be more villages and that even more children can participate in this great project.

In a city like Vienna, where the coexistence of multicultural European ethnics is observed, an universal project that emphasizes peoples' equality is enormously important.
For the children, the Pangaea project has become an indispensable part of their life, and they look forward to Yumi and Toshi's visit in September.

The continuous development of Pangaea would help so much to keep the motivation of this fascinating project a very lively one.
Those of us who once saw the shining eyes of the children taking the first step in the Pangaea world, would wish that children experience Pangaea even more.
