Malawi HIV/AIDS orphans and US students connect




The aim of the Pangaea project was to make a difference in the lives of the students in the US and the orphans of HIV/AIDS crisis in Malawi.

A Furnace Brook Middle School student wrote:
"I have really sat back and looked at how lucky I am at what I have, compared to
those orphans. Isa has really changed me and I hope he does so to others."

A Malawi orphan wrote:
I am Eglita, 6 years old. I will think about you every day of my life.”

"For me to hear these words from the students has made the Pangaea Project a success"
Isa Ebowe, President
