You will be paired with a pen pal. You will receive a letter with the name of your pal along with custom stationery and stamps. You will be given enough supplies for five letters. Once you’ve received your writing kit, get started by sending a letter to your
pal - tell about yourself and invite your pen pal to do the same! As the project progresses, I’ll check in by email and letter mail to see how it's going. </span></p>
