6. I have read the important notice of prohibited items: Important Notice: Solicitation of Money or Gifts Prohibited in Dear Friend Pen Pal Program. We kindly remind all participants that Dear Friend strictly prohibits the solicitation of money or gifts within the program. The primary focus of this initiative is to foster genuine connections through the power of written communication. Additionally, we encourage pen pals to refrain from exchanging material gifts or money. Instead, we invite children to express their thoughts, share experiences, and explore cultural exchange through their heartfelt letters. Supervising adults play a crucial role in the Dear Friend Pen Pal Program. We kindly request that they carefully monitor the contents of the letters exchanged between pen pals. This ensures a safe and positive experience for all participants, nurturing a supportive and enriching environment. Thank you for your cooperation in upholding the values of Dear Friend and prioritizing the meaningful exchange of thoughts and ideas among pen pals.

Once you submit the form details, we'll get back to you within a week with a match to start your penpal friendship! If you don't hear back from us in 2 weeks, please notify admin@amshaafrica.org
