international pen pals ?
i am looking to provide a foreign pen pal for a Massachusetts
10 year old girl.

and to learn about the rest of the world...)

Hello,
I do not know of an international organization, but I am from Rome
(Italy) and I have a 10 years old boy. If you want I can mail you
my home address.
Ciao

I know my step-daughter started writing to her pen pal at about 11
years old through a school program. This summer she finally got to
meet her face-to-face after 6 years of writing when we sent her to
Scotland. They had a wonderful time and surely proved that teenagers
around the world are all the same!!!
Check with you school system. Thay are bound to have international
contacts.

I'd love to find someone in Europe or another foreign country to
be a pen pal for my 10 year old daughter too!!!
She's been looking for someone.
My husband has had a pen pal in Holland since he was in High School.
He's met her and her family several times. They've been corresponding
now for 26 years!

I can give you the address of a 10 year old girl in Bucharest, Romania
who probably would enjoy a pen pal. She reads and write English,
so if your Romanian isn't so hot, it'll still work. Let me know
at WFOOFF::Mokray if you want the address.

Hmmm... looks like a trend here. How about this... how about making this a generic note about pen-pal contacts? If you have a child who would like to participate, or know one who would, put a note here with the following info: age, gender, language(s) available, country, your VAXMAIL address or, the address of a pen-pal agency, as requested in .0 Anyone who wants to start a relationship with one of the contacts listed would have to send mail to the writer to exchange addresses via private mail, and it could go from there. That would mean that the writer would (possibly) have to answer several mail messages regarding address and all, but it would keep home addresses out of a public conference to avoid possible abuse later. Readers, Moderators, wadda you think? - Tom | |||||

This moderator would prefer that people stick to giving names of
organizations. Using this as an exchange for individuals is not really
appropriate.
Here's one to get you started...
Send a self-addressed stamped envelope to:
Penpals
Box 127
State House, MA 02133
And they'll send you info on how to join.
