SAVE THE DATE

The 2025 Annual Pangea Gala will be on Saturday, November 22 at The BRIX in Carpentersville!

One night each year, we gather the Pangea community to celebrate our progress toward creating a more literate world. Our annual gala is more than just an opportunity to inspire support of our mission, it is a chance to step out of our daily lives and into an event where we can dress up, dance, and delight in the joy that comes from being together.

We hope you’ll join us!

Small Spaces, Big Possibilities Across the communities we serve, children are gathering to read, explore stories, and learn together in safe, welcoming spaces. With support from facilitators, these moments are building confidence, sparking curiosity, and strengthening early literacy skills. What started as a launch is becoming a movement, one where children aren’t just learning to read, but are beginning to enjoy and seek out books. One mini library at a time, we’re nurturing a growing culture of reading. 📚 👉 Join us in making reading accessible for every child. Whether by supporting a mini library, donating books, or spreading the word, you can help turn small spaces into big possibilities.

🚨 Ebola Alert: Awareness Can Save Lives 🚨 With confirmed Ebola cases in Uganda and a fast-growing outbreak in the DRC, this is a critical moment for communities to stay alert and informed. There is currently no widely available vaccine for this strain, making prevention, early action, and accurate information our strongest protection. 📖 The Thief Strikes (Link in bio) is more than a story. It helps children and families understand: ✔️ How Ebola spreads ✔️ What signs to watch for ✔️ How to protect themselves and others In times like these, knowledge must reach every home, every child, every community. Let’s use stories to spark conversations, fight misinformation, and take action early. 💪 Stay informed. Speak up. Stay safe. #EbolaAwareness #StaySafeUganda #MakingADifference #LiteracySavesLives
