Hello Everyone,

Toshi and I are in Nairobi. Just returned the last trip to Europe at the beginning of August, two weeks to prepare for this whole month trip around the world. The first stop was Nairobi.

Only a week after this trip has started, and an amazing thing is happening. We visited Community Multimedia Center started by UNESCO which was located in Bondo, near Kisumu, Nairobi. With our trip to Bondo, UNESCO jointed and so were the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kenya, Mr. Tuju. Wow, that was a surprise. He was born in Bondo, and started many wonderful community projects there, such as Water Project, Building Huts in villages, Remote medical service. He guided us around Bondo where roads were so rough and we hit our heads more than several times against the car ceiling during the day tour. He took us to a couple of schools in area, and there were 1/3 of children who raised hands when the Minister asked how many are orphans. This is the area where HIV/AIDS seriously infect many residents. They were studying at school where it was funded by Japanese ODA. Looking at such communities, and Pangaea here? will be a question many people who read this think. But UNESCO ICT advisor for East Africa likes our project and possibilities that Pangaea offers, bridging them to the world beyond their community provides hopes and dreams for children at where these seems so far away. Therefore, we will start our pilot program here to really see Pangaea works at this one of the most severe environment.
