Kids Pen Pals -
choosing a pen pal by country?

by Brad Manning

Hello - I have three kids who might be interested - Can they specify the country of a pen pal? Like France or Ireland? Thank you

Wendy: On the form, we ask the kids whether they want girls only, boys only, both genders; we also ask for USA only or USA and foreign... so we have an idea what the child is looking to write to.

We try to accommodate specific countries where we can, but it simply depends on whether we have a pal from the specific country they ask for, in their age bracket.

It's odd... we rarely hear from anyone in France, England is quite popular for pals, Ireland not so much but we do have a few.

Hope this helps!
