Another excellent penpal site is The Penpal Network, which is a free service dedicated to finding you friends from 220 different countries. You simply complete an application form to join, and then you're allowed access to their chat room, search facilities, online game room, and more. Members publish a newsletter and can participate in a Talk Mail List and a Penpal Board. GIRL is also a sponsor of the WKN Care Quest project where members write letters to kids in hospitals and seniors living in senior centers. For a program that connects 1.5 million students and teachers in over 130 countries, visit ePALS Classroom Exchange.
Teachers can search for classrooms to partner with in the countries of their choice.
In closing, visit InterPals Penpals Network, which is one of the largest free penpal sites with over 14,000 people registered. Search their database to find someone with the same interests, or post your own information so others can find you.
