ATTENTION YOUNG 'PEN-PALS'!!!
Remember how nice it used to be to get a letter from a loved one in the post?
The children at the school & orphanage we work with have asked if any1 would like to be their Pen-Pal.....
The children have very little
experience of life outside Kandy. The girls from the orphanage
literally have only themselves for company, no phones, television, a
computer, games, or a newspaper. No link to the world.
If you know anyone who would like to make a 'PENship' with one of these amazing young people and bring a colourful exchange of worlds into their lives then please get in touch and we can swap details.
It would literally mean the world to them.
Potential 'PENships' will be matched on an age basis. Some of the younger children here cannot unfortunately write well enough in English to be able to converse suitably. The 'PENship Pals' here will likely be 10+ BUT there is a big difference in their maturity to Pals from oversees. We would happily match a Sri Lankan child aged 10 with a UK child aged 7+ for example. Both boys and girls are very welcome in the 'PENship-Pals Programme'.
Anyone interested in a 'PENship' should send details of the parent/guardian, the name of your child, age, whether they are a boy or a girl and a brief description of their interests.
*The TEA Project will provide all the stationary and stamps necessary for the children we work with to communicate with their 'PENship Pal'. The responsibility for cost of postage etc by their oversees pal needs to be met by their parent/guardian.
*Please forward your 'PENship' request to Racheal:
racheal.ireton@theteaproject.org.uk
Thank you.
*(Due purely to the positive interest from young people in the North & North-East of England,UK we created the 'PENship Pals Programme'. We have opened up the age suitability for potential 'PENship Pals' to 7years+ for oversees children based on this interest)
''Thank you to those concerned who inspired''.
