One of the Pangaean children whom I know has grown as nearly as 30cm in the past two and a half years since I first met him/her. We only get together once or twice per month, however, our bond and the relationship of trust have been developed as we do get to see each other regularly. I can see some of them grow into their puberty and it is pleasing to me to see those children who had not done anything but to joke around start working very hard on creating their work to show the other children.

We have made much progress on the development division and our research project has started as well. We will be putting all our energy and hearts into our activity to make another big jump from our current 4-country program. Please stay with us and give us your continuous support.

We are kicking off our activity in Mie prefecture in January, 2007. We will also continue to work closely with our Korean team holding various simultaneous activities regularly. We will try to throw in our new activities in the menus there as well. The number of our staff is limited and we are the fledgling group of people, but we are moving forward. I wish you all a very happy New Year.
