Pen Pal Friends


 

Fostering Friendships Across the World


Pen Pal Friends enables students of Olasiti Primary School to exchange letters with students in the United States. On AIA's last trip to Olasiti, we hand-delivered letters and school supplies from Colina Middle School in California to the students in Olasiti and returned with new letters for the children in California. This program gives the children in Tanzania an opportunity to practice English, learn about our culture, share their culture, and make a rafiki "friend" halfway across the world. Each student involved in the program has a picture of their pen pal friend.
