About Us

Following the true teachings the late Honorable Bob Marley, a man who embodies the heart and soul of Reggae worldwide, we would like to carry on the torch of Peace, Love and Unity.

John L. Pangani a.k.a. "The African Teacher", RAW#1736, Reggae Street DJ on WSND 88.9 FM, Music Promoter, Real Estate Broker Associate for Polack Realty, ignited the spirit of Reggae in Northern Indiana communities by founding and sponsoring the 1st annual "South Bend Annual Reggae Festival", a venue which serves to awaken and unite people of different race, religion, nationality, color, and age providing the opportunity for all to dance and chant as one to the same tune.

Michiana Reggae presents live music events to raise money for The Pangani Foundation, Inc., under section 501 (c)(3) located in South Bend, Indiana, USA. This foundation was originally formed in 2005. It targets the hospitals and schools in Malawi - Central Africa (The home of David - Pop Star Madonna's adopted True Born African son). The mission is to help some of Malawi's Hospitals with small supplies such as blankets, bed sheets, kitchen utensils, sanitation gloves, syringes, surgical utensils, over the counter medicine etc.. These supplies have always been a problem in most public hospital

In the past years, we have supplied hospitals with blankets after we noticed the shortage of hospitals linens and blankets.  The beneficiary of this first project was Mulanje District Hospital located in Southern region of Malawi. Mulanje district is blessed with the beautiful mount Mulanje. It's highest peak, Sapitwa attracts a lot of mountain climbers all over the world. The bottom of this mountain is dressed with the tea and coffee plantations. Mulanje has the best Malawi fruits plantations such as bananas, pineapple, sugarcanes, pears, mangoes just to mention a few.

We salute the St. Joseph Hospital Medical Center and Children of Abraham for joining our team force. They donated medical supplies and equipment for Malawi. The container was loaded and set aboard heading Malawi May 2008. It arrived and unloaded on November 3rd, 2008. Respect to all of you who came to help sorting and loading this shipment. Thanks go to the Mulanje Mission Hospital staff for a good communication throughout the transactions. Those who help to unload everything from the container, may the force be with you.
