People from everywhere tuned in to watch the live broadcast in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro and grassroots events flourished in cities, communities, and private homes.

Here's a sampling of the voices we've heard from so far:

"This has been my dream to have such day for years, and today I see it come to reality!"

Farsheed, an Iranian-Canadian 'global citizen'

"I just stumbled onto the last half hour of the Pangea Day show here in Toronto and am so happy I did...I'm 48 yrs old and got the most wonderful feeling of finally belonging to a community that speaks to and for me...I'm going to check out the web site and find a drum to bang and some people to hug and love!

Ursula of Toronto, formerly of Kircubbin, Northern Ireland

"It's 4:00 am here and I couldn't go to bed without writing to you and telling you how beautiful, thought-provoking and deeply moving the experience was."

Rhea from Chandigarh, India
