Penpals in Jamaica
-
Read and respond to letters from Jamaica.
Become penpals with both adults and children living in Jamaica and experience the joy of meaningful, cross-cultural connections.
By joining the Araba Scott Children's Foundation, you’ll have the unique opportunity to read heartfelt letters from people of all ages in Jamaica.
These letters offer a glimpse into their daily lives, dreams and stories. After reading their messages, you can write thoughtful replies that brighten their day and build lasting friendships across the miles.
