PANGAEA/INNOVATORS edition
How has Pangaea affected you?
"Pangaea has been the most rewarding experience of my life and continues to propel my career. After the Brazil trip, I truly became a global citizen - I furthered my fluency in Portuguese, interacted with a multitude of industry professionals who showed us the philanthropic and international sides of business, and made connections that will last a life time. Volunteering in Rocinha allowed us to connect with the local community, have full cultural immersion, and have first-hand experience with the work that NGOs do in other countries. Pangaea ignited my passion for travel and has prepared me with the skills to be a competitive applicant in the job market. Without Pangaea Abroad, I would not be where I am today."
What was your most memorable moment?
"My most memorable experience happened when we were helping to teach english to some students in Rocinha. I especially remember having a deep connection to a little boy named Claudio. I realized the difference I could make in the world from that moment. That moment is what motivates me to continue to learn and grow to my fullest potential, so that I can go back and help Claudio in a big way."
What would you tell others that are interested in Pangaea?
"Definitely do it!"
"Doing this program was easily the best decision of my life. You will grow and learn more than you ever thought was possible. You will make life long connections with amazing people. You will become so inspired and have some of the best moments of your life. I wish everyone in the world could have access to this program, it is something so beautiful and special that words cannot even describe."

What I loved about the program
"Our mentors and the participants came together to do projects and learn how to get contacts from other adults. I also loved it that we learned how to make our own website."

My biggest lesson was...
"Learning to be prepared."
"The biggest takeaway from my summer experience is finding my calling. I found out that I want to help people and live my life by serving others. This is a huge takeaway for me, as I now have a direction I want to lead and live my life in. The beginning of my lifelong journey stared at Pangaea."
