Activity Report for November 2012
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The first Webcam activity was held on 10 November at Kashiwa-no-ha
in Urban Design Center Kashiwa-no-ha (UDCK), Chiba, Japan. They connected
via Webcam to MIZY Center in Seoul, Korea. It was so cheerful activity.
In Question & Answer session, some participants danced in front of Webcam
to show popular dance music. One of the Ebisu (Tokyo) participants joined
the Webcam by taking a train all the way for almost two hours. It was the
third Pangaea Activity in Kashiwa-no-ha and the number of children is increasing.

Pangaea to launch activities in new Kenya site in January 2013
----------------------------------------------------------------------
>From 2013, Pangaea will be launching activities at the National Museum
of Kenya in Nairobi. This new Pangaea site at Nairobi, Kenya will start
off with a Webcam Activity with Tokyo on 12 January 2013. It will be an
exciting day for children from both Nairobi and Tokyo!
The National Museum of Kenya is already in the process of promoting
Pangaea's activities to schools in Kenya. We are looking forward to
meeting the Kenyan participants in the first Webcam Activity between
Tokyo and Nairobi, which is an important milestone for Pangaea!

YMC Viet Project Special Feature
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In our last issue, we updated everyone about the Youth Mediated
Communication (YMC) Viet Project. The project taps on the potential of
Vietnamese children to help parents who are rice farmers in Vinh Long Province,
Vietnam, to address their agricultural challenges. The project leverages on
the use of a special kit developed by Pangaea, and participation of
agriculture experts, and service science researchers.
The recent trip concluded on a high note, proving once again that
the hard work for everyone involved in this project is worth it.
In this issue, we bring you behind the scenes of the YMC Viet Project.

Office Warming Party at the new office!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On 17 November 2012, Pangaea held an Office Warming Party in our cozy,
new office. And we had a very good time with having delicious dinner
and funny talking.
Despite the cold weather, the office was filled with warmth and good cheer
of the team which has made Pangaea's journey a great one so far.
