Dec 2008 Newsletter: Pangaea ring - Ms. Chisa Nishikawa
Hello! I'm Chisa Nishikawa(call me Giara). I am a high school student
and a Pangaea facilitator based in Tokyo.I have been involved in Pangaea activity for as many as four years now. I used to be one of the participating children and I have become a volunteer to work as a facilitator this year.
When I first joined Pangaea as a participant, I had very little spirit of commitment to it. However, it soon became my habit to go home after Pangaea mumbling "Why is Pangaea held once a month only?"
When I was in junior high school, I used to be isolated in the class. My classmates used to think I was even disgusting.
One day however,
something happened and I became good friends with one of
the classmates. I still remember very clearly when I was told from my
classmate, "I heard from others that you were a disgusting person but
you are not so at all! I am happy that I have become friends with you!"
Therefore, I hope that the children who come to participate in Pangaea activity will learn how to understand and accept the others, not only those overseas with whom they communicate on PangaeaNet but also those who are drawing pictures or those who are playing Viscuit (a software to create animation) sitting next to them.
