 Visit to Mizy Center in Seoul, Korea

Blogimg-mizy.jpgA facilitator training was held at Mizy Center in Korea last Thursday, April 4th with the participation of Yumi and Toshi from Japan as trainers. 15 volunteers took the course with two of them coming back to Pangaea after their military services. One of the returnee came all the way to Seoul by traveling two hours by bus just for one-way to participate in the training.

Also, an activity was held at Mizy Center on Saturday April 9th. Korean children and facilitators were sympathetic to the situation in Japan and gave us the words to cheer us up. Seoul site received more than fifty applications for the Pangaea activity, while the capacity was twenty four. They say that Korean parents are happy if their children are accepted to Pangaea activity, as they are into their children's education.

One of the mother of the participating children spoke to Yumi in Japanese to ask if she was Yumi as she went out of the hall to go to the lady's room. When she replied yes, she said she reads Pangaea blog, and that she did not know that she would be here today but she would like her to keep up her good work. Yumi was surprised to know that Korean people were reading Pangaea newsletters and blog articles, but at the same time, she felt her daily efforts are slowly making some difference. Pangaea is right on track in Korea! MIZY_ACT_20110409.jpg
