Hello everybody.

I am Daijiro Homma. It's my first time to post my message on Pangaea Ring. HONEST CO.,LTD. the company where I work at the moment, provides the industries such as health, agriculture and entertainment with the computer technology services.

I first came to know Pangaea through Mr. Takasaki, Vice President of Pangaea. First of all, the name of the organization "Pangaea" left a huge impact on me. I was deeply touched by the sincerest passion that Ms. Mori, President and Mr. Takasaki, Vice President revealed through naming the organization "Pangaea" and I found it a truly beautiful name. Adding to that, I was very much impressed by its mission as well as its activities. It comes from the memories of the experiences that I had during my own childhood which drew out these feelings of mine toward Pangaea.

I spent 6 years, from 3 years old to 9 years old, living in Brazil and in the United States. As you probably know, Brazil and the United States are made up of multiethnic immigrants mainly from Europe. People who live in those countries have different cultural backgrounds and customs. I myself was raised in an environment where our family was the only "Japanese" there.
(Back in those days, in general, it was not easy for the Japanese to go overseas unless as immigrants.)

As a child, I was somewhat aware of my identity as Japanese, but the people around me were not really "foreigners" to me, then. I still hold this sense of feeling as I live my life to this date. As an adult, I am able to associate with people regardless of their nationality or ethnicity. I am truly grateful for my parents for having given me the opportunity to live in such an environment in the early stage of my life.

I do believe that Pangaea's goal is to provide, through their programs, many children with the opportunities just like the ones that I had in my childhood and let them have the similar feelings, which would allow them to grow up as those who can be naturally connected with the people around the world.

I also believe that the world peace will be achievable when the number of such people increases and they become the leaders of this world.
I hold up a hope for Pangaea's future course.
