 Feb 2007 Newsletter: Pangaea Ring - Mr. Yasukazu Okano

Hello Pangaean!! My name is Yasukazu Okano. My friends call me Yaz. It is my great pleasure to join the Pangaea Board Members and I am so excited to work with you.


I study multicultural education. Multicultural education is to challenge everything to have better communication and understanding with others regardless of difference in culture and language to respect diversity in the world. I support the Pangaea's mission to create the universal playground and personal bonding among children all over the world. We share same goal and challenge.

The world we live in now is getting smaller and smaller with modern technology and people cross the boundaries more often than ever. Our communities are becoming more diverse, yet there are so many misunderstandings, conflicts and problems among us. We need to work it out together for peace. Pangaea's Universal Playground is the way to create peace among children in the world, hoping change the future for good. I will work very hard to help youngsters to meet many friends across the universe and play together in Pangaea.

My hobby is outdoor activities. I like to go exploring nature with children. I like hiking, bicycling, canoeing and camping. I like to share all excitement with my young friends to encounter all sorts of creatures in nature. However, as you might know, we have another huge problem in the world today. Global warming causes disaster and biological diversity crisis. We need to work it out together here as well, preventing global warming and saving environment and ecosystem. I would like to challenge these issues with Pangaean.

I am looking forward to meeting you and working together for the challenges. See you soon in Pangaea!!
