Message from Yumiko Mori, Chairman of Pangaea
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A happy new year 2012!
As I write this, my feelings are quiet as a year ends and a new one
starts, which is different from past years. Last year started in the
south of Vietnam. In March, we needed to cancel our activities in
Tokyo due to the unprecedented earthquake. And it ended in Vietnam
where I stayed till 22nd. During this year, we could finalize the
partnership with Kenya National Museum and prepared for NGO Pangaea
in Kenya. It went away so quickly.
In 2011, we have implemented the pilot project to deliver agricultural
knowledge to the farmers through their children in Vinh Long Province
of Mekong Delta, Vietnam. This year, we are preparing for the actual
implementation of this model. In Kenya, Pangaea's implementation is
planned as the project to promote multi-cultural (multi-tribal)
understanding from National Museum. I went back and forth Kenya and
Vietnam multiple times, and at each location, I could get friends who
would understand and work together with us. Sometimes I am
discouraged, but I feel like I am going over the mountain together
with them day by day. ]]>
Currently, Pangaea is in the middle of its donation campaign to obtain
3,000 JPY or more donations from 100 or more supporters. According
to the revision of the Japanese law that took effect in June last
year, Pangaea will be certified as the NPO that can give tax benefit
to its donors, assuming it can obtain 3,000 JPY or more donations from
100 or more supporters each year. Thank you so much for those of you
who have shown support to us so far. Please take this opportunity to
support our activity by donating 3,000 JPY or more.

Non-Profit Organization Pangaea has started its campaign to request its supporters

+ Pangaea Ring: Ms. Risako Kabata
+ 2010 Activity Report (Oct 2010 to Sep 2011)
+ Activity Report in November 2011
Pangaea Ring this month was written by “Kaba-chan” or Ms. Risako Kabata who is a facilitator leader at Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan. She leads Kyoto activity with her excellent abilities to plan and execute. Thank you so much for Kaba-chan, as always.
Also, On Friday November 25th, the Board of Directors and the General Meeting of Non-profit organization Pangaea were held, where fiscal year 2010 activities were reported. In fiscal year 2011 that started in October 2011, Pangaea will further enhance and expand its activities based on its past achievements.
Thank you for your continued support to Pangaea. ]]>
Pangaea Ring: Ms. Risako Kabata
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, everyone. I am "Kaba-chan" at Kyodai, or Kyoto University. I
have been playing the role of Facilitator Leader at Kyodai activities
since this April.
I came to know Pangaea last January. I learnt about it through the
mailing list that distributes information about international exchange
programs, to participate in Facilitator training immediately after.
I was fascinated by the philosophy of Pangaea there. What was
discussed was the discriminately view based on the difference of
ethnicity or culture such as "this and that ethnic group is scary",
spread in the aftermath of 9.11, and the fact that the future depends
on how children would view the world. Therefore, if there is a place
where children across the world can build the friendship transcending
the barrier of language, time and space, it will directly connect to
the world peace. Pangaea develops and utilizes the information
technology in the peaceful manner for its realization. I was moved
and felt strong empathy with the thoughts and sense of mission of
Yumiko-san and Toshi-san.
I myself was given a chance to understand through experience that
"Americans are not all the same. There are many kinds of people.",
as my parents were accommodating the homestay of foreign students.
I was fascinated by Pangaea that can give such opportunities to more
number of children in the more accessible manner! I found it difficult
to stick to something ever since I became college student,
but I could continue only Pangaea, because I was touched by its basic
principles. I must also add that charming personalities of Pangaea
office staffs and volunteers besides cute smiling faces of children
attracted me.
I am truly looking forward to the spread of Pangaea across the world.
Pangaea's technologies are excellent in its universality, as you can
see from its agricultural assistance program in Vietnam, utilizing YMC
or youth mediated communication model. I would like to work in the
field of public health in the future, and I have an expectation that
Pangaea's technology can be applied to the education of hygiene,
lifestyle habit and sex in the developing countries. I am still a
student, but I would like to keep in touch with Pangaea for a long
time after my graduation. Thank you and best regards to all of you.
