Pen Pal Program ⁽⁵⁶⁶⁾

Myanmar / $0

Flow Funder: D.J.

Year Funded: 2006

I wanted the students at my school to experience what I was doing in Myanmar, and a pen pal program seemed like a good place to start. I invited the 3rd/4th and 5th grade class to participate with me in this new program and they wrote letters that included drawings and photos of themselves. I brought these letters with me to Myanmar and my friends translated the letters into Burmese. A nunnery school was found with students the same age and they soon became pen pals with the school students back home. After this letter writing exchange, the 5th grade class organized a Read-a-Thon that brought in over $700. They decided to use the money to build a playground and a basketball court at their Myanmar nunnery pen pal school and matching funds more than doubled what the Read-a-Thon had generated. When I next returned to Myanmar, a beautiful new playground facility and basketball court were built at the pen pal nunnery school, which made the Myanmar children very happy.
