Pen Friends

You can brighten someone else's day and enjoy the excitement of receiving letters yourself by becoming a pen friend!  Nowadays, it's easy to be a pen pal: you can correspond with your new friend online!

To find a pen pal in a nursing or assisted living home, visit www.bridgeofhopefoundation.org/pen_pal.htm or www.elderswithoutwalls.com/Assisted%20Living/adoptagrandparent.htm.

At www.zambian.com/bethel/pen-pals-for-kids-bethel-children/html/write-pen-pal-child.html, you can become a pen friend of a child living in an orphanage in Zambia.

Through the In2Books organization, you can be a pen pal mentor and help an underprivileged elementary-schooler learn to read and write.  Visit www.in2books.com/school/penpals.html for more information.

Happy writing!
