September 2010 Newsletter: Yumi's Monthly Note
Hello Everybody!The extremely hot summer continues here in Japan, and with humidity as well, people in Japan are getting a bit tired. I am fine, despite of hot weather, as my apartment in Kyoto is now set with two air conditioners. This month, we are getting ready for the Webcam event between Korea and Japan, planned on September 11th of next month. Tokyo will be the Japan webcam location, and we have "Nippon Telegraph and Telephone East Corporation ("NTT EAST")to provide us their facility at NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC], at Tokyo Opera City. We also have other companies to support us, OKWave Inc., Geisha Tokyo Entertainment Inc., HONEST Co.,ltd., and JAPAN ART PLANNING CENTER. It has been a while for us to invite press, but we will this time. Usually Toshi or I are in another side, but for this coming event, we have Toto, Sophia, and Hong, all very reliable members in Seoul, so we will be in Tokyo.
We have Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan at support this event. Also National Federation of UNESCO Associations in Japan.
About the Tokyo Pangaea program, we have a Facilitator Leader Group called
YoyoPan, Pangaea in Yoyogi for short. Members include Yamamari, who is now
8 months pregnant, whose husband is Kotaro, a Pangaea staff in 2005. They
have met each other through Pangaea, and got married few years ago, and will
have a Pangaea baby soon. How exciting! Yamamari is an experienced FL, and
even with her heavy tummy, she helps and gives advice through the Internet
and also on site. She says she will be at the Webcam event, but that will
be only a month away from full term. The baby in her tummy may be surprised
when everyone plays Koetsuna Voice Game.
During this summer, we have a few interns in Kyoto office to help us. Yoshio who has been an excellent Technical volunteer in Kyoto, and will be there to help Toshi develop necessary Tech tools. Things are quite hectic, but we are all enjoying and looking forward to show Pangaea in Tokyo.
Now, I introduce Ms. Hiroko Otsubo, being in charge of a facilitator volunteer as a Pangaea Ring Writer for this month. She is going to be FL in the event in this autumn and contribute to Pangaea more and more!
