2010 Summer Pangaea Project
"When one throws a stone into a pond, it doesn’t affect just the spot it touches;
it expands its reach beyond itself in ever-widening circles.
Mr. Isa Ebowe is just such a stone." Furnace Brook Middle School Student

Meeting Malawi's Vice President
Honorable Joyce Banda
On June 5, 2010, Canterio International USA had a distinct honor; we met Malawi's Vice
President Honorable Joyce Banda. The event was an intimate luncheon sponsored by the
New England Malawian Association. Since our President, Isa Ebowe was in Malawi,
Pangaea Project Coordinator, Jacki Creed Ebone spoke on behalf of Canterio. Addressing
the Vice President, the Malawian American members of NEMA, and the President of the
Zambian American Society, Ms. Ebone spoke about the work of Canterio in Malawi with
orphans and vulnerable children.
She stressed the importance of the project connecting students in the US to students in
Malawi. Representing their part in the Pangaea Project were students from the Furnace
Brook Middle School, Malawi Pangaea Project Council, President, Ian Crittendon, Vice
President, Megan Masterson, and Web Master Aaron Skulsky. Ian spoke passionately to the
crowd, using an analogy of a stone thrown into a pond and its affect of rings of concentric
circles. He stated Isa is the stone and he has had an impact on the lives of the students here
and in Malawi. He then presented the Vice President with a stone representing his story. We
met many new Malawian friends and danced to Malawian music. Read more

World Cup
In Nsalu village, Canterio International
organized our own World Cup Games.
We wanted the orphans to experience
some of the world cup soccer fever
that was sweeping the nation, the
African continent and the world.
It was also a day for the orphans to
compete, have fun, be kids and for a
moment put aside their problems.
