Subject: Hey pen pals!

Hey everyone,

So, new plan of action: send your first letter to Team Rwanda. It takes about a month to send mail to Rwanda, and then about as long to get anything back. To cut down on time, we're going to send letters first.. and whenever the kids' letters come in, TR will distribute them from there.

For the first letter, it can be rather short- just a little introduction about yourself. Mention that you're from the United States. The rest is up to you! Keep the sentences short and simple because they're just starting with English.

Start writing now, and we'll get the project started a.s.a.p.!! Please send the letters to Team Rwanda at : 904 Maplewood Dr, Pittsburgh, PA 15234 . You can just say "hello" or "dear friend" in the letter since you don't have a pen pal YET.

Thanks so much!! Happy writing!! Message me with any questions or email us at teamrwanda.pgh@gmail.com

-Team Rwanda

P.S.- if you have not already done so, email us at teamrwanda.pgh@gmail.com so that we have your email address! then messages like this can be sent via email and not facebook :)

my P.S.

my 2 letters are out in the mail today!
