We have partnered with Little Blue Dog Organization (http://www.thelittlebluedog.com) to establish a pen-pal program between schools in Kenya and in Florida. Children are excited when they receice letters from their penpals and we hope this will create lifelong friendships between both students and schools. This appears to be the case as one 4th grader from Lake Tahoe school; Hana Muller, was invited by her African Penpal to her birthday celebration! Of her Penpal, Hana says ”she sounds generous and kind in every letter”. Other students are also enjoying the Penpal program, “I like learning about their families and the animals where they live in Kenya,” said Kayla Green, “I think it is cool to talk to someone on the other side of the world,” said Sean Oliver, and “My pen pal writes really well in English, sends drawings of local animals, and sounds nice” said Auri Fernandez.

Good to see the blog starting. When I was a child, I had penpals. j It was a very exciting and enlightening experience.
