Isa's QuoteThis November, when I visited the villageof Salima in Malawi, more than 300children greeted me. I asked one of thevillage leaders, "Could you show me theorphans?"

He gestured to the sea of faces in front ofme and replied, "All of them." I wasshocked. I knew we would encountermany orphans, but not entire villages--with not a surviving adult. It broke myheart to see first hand the devastatingimpact of HIV/Aids on innocent children.

Isa Ebowe, Canterio Internation USA

Obama's QuoteTo the people of poor nations, wepledge to work alongside you to makeyour farms flourish and let clean watersflow; to nourish starved bodies andfeed hungry minds. And to thosenations like ours that enjoy relativeplenty, we say we can no longer affordindifference to the suffering outsideour borders, nor can we consume theworld's resources without regard toeffect. For the world has changed, andwe must change with it.

more congrats

Just a note to thank Matt Meehan, the Malawi Council and everyone who wasinvolved in putting on such a tremendous presentation. It is the special moments,such as last Thursday's visit, that will remain with the students long after they haveleft FBMS. The entire event was classy and represents everything that is so specialabout FBMS. A community member approached me after the presentation and asked,rhetorically, "So are you proud of your school, or what?" "Proud" is anunderstatement. Thanks again for your important efforts!

To the Malawi Pangaea Project CouncilI want to take this opportunity to commend you on a flawless assembly. Yourdiligence and commitment are obvious in every part of this project. You are themodel for all our other schools, leading the way as a shining example.

I also want to extend the admiration of Secretary Kambalame. She was thoroughlyimpressed with the Furnace Brook Middle School. Because of you, the MalawianEmbassy will be a valuable partner to Canterio International in the future.

I look forward to our upcoming meetings and our journey to Africa in June, as wecontinue together to positively impact the lives of the orphans of HIV/Aids inMalawi.

Dress Code for Next ThursdayThere has been confusion (especially with the girls) as to what the dress code is forthe ambassador's visit to the school. With help from a giant book on formal stuffand my mom, here it is:

Boys:

nice pants (slacks, church pants)collared shirtdress shoes (no sneakers)jacket or blazerties are good

Girls:

dress (something buisiness-like, not really flowy or really short)

OR

skirt (see dress guidlines)nice shirt (or top or whatever you call it)decent shoes (no flip flops or sneakers)women's suit jacket? (you have to figure this one out, I am no expert)

AND make sure it is within school guidlines

Tomorrow's PresentationTomorrow you guys are telling the homerooms about the Malawi Pangea Projectsports equipment drive. Here are a few tips on a good presentation. First, keep itquick because of the limited time. You don't have to read everything on the list justtell the major parts. Second, project your voice so everyone in the room can hereyou. Third, relax they aren't scary as far as I know. Finally, be in your assignedcluster as soon as possible don't chat with your friends ok, but make sure to checkin with your homeroom teachers first. By the way Laura, Marissa Nader is going tobe with because Steph Scalia is doing yellow with Jill. Good Luck!

Hi it's Ian from the Malawi Pangea Council; I would like to talk to you about myholiday festivities. When December comes around my family gets a pine tree anddecorates it with lights and ornaments like a pictures of my family, snowmen, andminiature boats (my grandfather is a fisherman and he likes boats). Then around thehouse my family puts up lights, festive center pieces on our table, and fake candlesin the windows. On Christmas Eve my entire family gets together to celebrate withfood, holiday music, and togetherness. On Christmas morning, my family gives giftsto each other and relax. After Christmas, we celebrate the passing of a new year onDecember 31st and January 1st which we call New Year's. My family stays up to seethe ball of lights in New York City drop in the final minute of the year and countdown from ten to zero. Everyone is very happy because a new year is a fresh start.

I hope you have a merry Christmas and happy New Year!

Sincerely,Ian President of the Malawi Pangea CouncilPosted by Ian at 8:10 PM 0 comments

Holiday TraditionsIn my house, Christmas day celebration lasts from sunrise to sunset. My family getsup at about 6:00 am, and rushes downstairs for the festivities. We give gifts to eachother and then have a pancake breakfast. After that, we get ready to go see ourcousins in Connetecut. We put together a change of clothes, toiletries, etc. and hopinto the car. We usually leave around noon and get there at 2:30. when we getthier, we are greeted by our cousin's dogs and family. We talk a lot because we onlysee our cousins twice a year. Then, while my aunt and uncle prepare dinner, I dostuff with my cousins like play games and talk about school. We have a bigchristmas dinner and then just laugh until we go to sleep. The holidays in my familyare very fun.-LukasPosted by Lukas at 4:43 PM 0 comments

Donate Soccor Balls to the Pangea Project

Please Help the Orphans in Malawi, Africa

Donate a new or slightly used soccer ball to anorphan in Malawi. If you don’t have the time tobuy a soccer ball or don’t have a used one, wewill also take cash donations to either buymultiple soccer balls or have the money paytowards the shipping to Africa.

These children in Malawi cannot afford many ofthe things we call essential, let alone a soccerball, but they love to play soccer just like us.They have lost their parents to AIDS and don’t

have much. We know that if we can give them something as simple as a soccer ball,it will make life a little more fun.

a meeting "schedule"Okay, for the past couple of meetings i have been informed on the day of thatmeeting. so, I have missed the last couple of meetings. I think we should setsomething up, like meetings will always be on a monday, or every other week onmonday. that way people like me won't end up missing a ton of stuff because ofother activities. this could help get our attendance up and we could have morepeople help out with fundraisers, drives, and connections to the kids in Malawi.Posted by Lukas at 3:14 PM 0 comments

Meetings and MembersJust a Reminder to everyone,

We really need to set a date sometime soon that everyone can get to, to meetafter school and talk about this year. We keep saying we'll have meetings butpeople always cancel. We need to figure out a day that all of us can usually get toand have regular meetings that day. (If we have a meeting, tell us during math, weall have it together.)Before we get any farther into the school year, we really need to figure out whatwe're going to do about members. I've had a lot of kids from last year come up andask when the council meetings are. We have to decide if we're going to have anykids from 8th grade or if it'll just be new 7th graders that we split into groups. Ithink it'd be easiest to just take one or two kids from last year to help us managethe 7th graders that join, and to help fundraise and spread the word.On the subject of the 7th graders: We really need to work out either a speech typething or a short presentation on Malawi and what we're trying to do. Thendepending on how many kids respond, we could split them into our individual groupsas discussed.I know Danny and Aaron can only take a maximum of five kids due to their subject,and me and Dan could probably each take about 10 to 15 kids at the most (15 if wecan get help from current 8th graders).I just wanted to post this so we can get a start on this year without procrastinatingtoo horribly.

Possible Dance?If everyone recalls we were planning to have a dance soon. I have been talking toadvisory team members and they said that they are thinking of planning a fall ball. Iwas thinking we could arrange a meeting with them-only the board-and discuss thedance and maybe we could make some fundraiser money from it. I am confidentthis plan will work and if we don't help plan the dance then we might run into classnight, if the dance is later in the year. I think we should do this ASAP!

Welcome to the New YearHello everyone, and welcome to another great year of the Malawi Pangea Project.We the council members have many ideas of how to raise a lot of money this yearand also communicate with the kids over in Malawi more than once. This year letstry not to, "Bite off more than we can chew like last year," said co-webmasterDanny Barbati. We just raffled off 3 Jon Lester baseballs at open house and raisedover $100! We are starting the year off a little early this year. I find that we arealready more productive this year. Since we have an entire year this year rather 3months we have more time to do fundraisers. We will try and get 7th graders intothe program this year, but we will have to limit the amount of people who join. IanCrittenden, President, says we should do this on a first come, first served system.The board of the council discussed our goals of the year. We will try to get thedance we were discussing at the end of the year in this year. We will try to getcorporate sponsors to supply notebooks and things for the educational drive. Ourfundraising/financial goal is to raise over $1000. I believe that if we do not "bite offmore than we can chew" we can succeed in reaching this goal, we will just have totake the process at a calm, comfortable pace. If you have any ideas on fundraisingplease address me or any of the board members, or just post your idea on the blog.Aaron will be trying to set up a website for the Council. The t-shirts will also bedesigned this year so any ideas give them to Any of the board members or Mr.Meehan. We will try to get back into the weekly meeting routine. Danny Barbatimentioned that this year we should even out the groups and also during themeetings split into those groups. I hope this year will be a great year for the MalawiPangea Project.

Poem to MalawiMr. Meehan asked me to post this a while ago and I finally can now that my email isworking. This is the poem that Laura read during the webcast (I'm pretty stage fright,I'm not good at reading my work out loud.).

To MalawiBy Meghan Kenneally

To finally meet, to see you allIs a joy in itself.To be able to seeThe faces behind what we’ve been hearingIs just as amazingAs the stories we’ve heard.We want to know you,To learn about you as yourselvesAnd not just as a whole.To have us learn how toConnect with you now,Means that we can inchOne step closer.To uniting our towns.As far as they are.Because to bond our peopleAnd our nationsIs to start a movement ofPeace.And you must rememberThis is only step one,The beginning of what weCan achieve with a little bit of help,A pinch of luck,And a dash of hope.Posted by Unknown at 9:57 PM 2 comments

Hello this is Mark and Justin 7th graders from Marshfield. In Marshfield we use carsthat run on gasoline for transportation. In my spare time I like to play a lot ofsports. Some of the sports I play are lacrosse, baseball, football and hockey. I liketo play lacrosse the best. Lacrosse is almost like soccer but instead of using yourfeet to move the ball from player to player you have to use a stick. Aaron showed apicture of people playing lacrosse down below.

Hi my name is Haleigh and Ilive here in the UnitedStates! Here at home itsnows a lot, you canprobably see that though! Ithought it would be cool foryou to see what the weatheris like here in the winter.Also as you can see the roadis paved. Most roads in theUnited States are paved. Inthe winter the roads have tobe shoveled (plowed) so thatall the cars can get through.It gets very dangerous

though because the roads get icy, slippery, so we put salt down. Now it's summerand there is no more snow, everything has turned green, we are always outsidebecause of the heat! (yay!) I wonder what it is like in Malawi.hope to here from you,Haleigh:)Posted by Haleigh at 6:12 PM 0 comments

Here in America, every main road is paved. They are mostly 2 lanes (like the ones inMalawi), but highways can range from 2 to 4, and sometimes even 5 lanesin the bigcities! We also have roataries (3rd one down) to direct trafficfrom a busyintersection, like just off a highway. Many roads in America are busy because manypeople have, and costantly use, cars. Some roads are paved with gravel (top), and acouple aren't paved at all(2nd one from bottom), but these are often unused or veryquiet streets.Posted by Lukas at 5:05 PM 0 comments

By Ian Crittenden

Today there's an article in thePatriot Ledger explaining the sceneyesterday as the Furnace BrookMiddle School Malawi PangeaCouncil finally had a WebCast withIsa Ebowe, Mr. Cyrus Jeke, and bestof all, the children of Malawi.

Before the Webcast yesterday, Mr. Meehan, Laura, Aaron, Danny, Meghan, Dan, and

I had a telephone confenrence with the orphans. I have to say getting up extraearly to arrive at school at 7:20 am was more then worth it. The orphans and theofficers asked questions, and we and the children of Malawi answered. Near the endthey sang us a song called "May-o May-o." All the officers loved the song.

Now that we've seen them, heard them, it's great to put a face to some of thepeople we're helping. And in a way it's helping us here in America to feel more apart of the world. Thank you, fellow Malawi students.Posted by Ian at 6:45 AM 0 comments

Isa's Presentation from May 22Hello all!I know this may be a little (who am I kidding, 20 days!) late, but technicaldifficulties have been resolved (thanks to Lukas's stroke of genius!), and now someof the presentation is on YouTube! I have edited some of it out (like Mr. Meehanswarning about goofing off), and some stuff Lukas didn't catch due to his camerabattery dying. So it's good! Check out the YouTube page when you get a chance, andsee you all soon!

P.S.- You can expect to see some of the events that occured today on both the Blogand Youtube within the week! I also apoligize for going a little crazy with the fontcolors.Posted by Danny at 7:47 PM 0 comments

It is not unusual for Asnet toshare her pen with her entireclass because no one else ownsa pen. She has to take notesand so do the rest of thestudents while at the sametime trying to pay attention tothe teacher's lecture.In order for you to understandAsnet's challenges, I would likeyou to put yourself in her shoesby doing the following:"The US class should share asingle pen in an entire lessonperiod. Wait your turn for thepen and at the same time, tryto pay attention to yourteacher's instructions, takenotes and ask questions."

Blog your experience in the class.

The kids where ecstatic when they saw FBMS "the day in a life video." They couldnot understand how American children got so lucky to be picked up in front of theirhouses every morning by the school bus.The question they asked was, "Do the American kids live in the bus?" because thebus was bigger than their houses.They also wanted to know "Where you can park such a big bus?" and "Do Americankids sing on the bus on their way to school?"

My name is Phillip. I am 5 years old. This is my house and inside is my kitchen. Ilove to play hide and seek with my friends in the wood stacks behind my house.Sometimes, I like to play alone in the garden. I made this soccer ball to play withmy friends. I hope children in America enjoy fun time playing as much as we do inImpanje Village.
