    My 11 year old daughter Jennelle would love a penfriend. She has always wanted a penfriend and I thought that maybe someone else may have a child they know who would like to write to her by mail. I know kids don't do this often now as there is email but there is nothing better than recieving mail in the post.
    Jennelle is 11 turning 12 in November. She is in Grade 5 in primary school this year. Her interests are sewing, drawing, loves animals and also loves reading and music.
    So if you know anyone, that would be great.
    Cheers Jackie and Jennelle

    I have an 15 yr old grand son who is great!!! If you don't think he is too old, of if a boy is alright, then I will be glad to ask him'.
    I think this is a great idea!! Children don't know how to write letters anymore.

    I have a 12 year old nephew, he has a few pen pals. Is it okay for me to give him your address?

    Hello Jackie

    I can certainly ask around for you I made friends with a German girl when we were 14 & here we are almost 34 yrs on still in touch & I am godmother to her daughter who is almost 20. We have so many memories to share together it brings tears to my eyes.
    Here's hoping I can find your daughter a penpal. Keep your fingers crossed for me Jackie.

    My Granddaughter is 11 in February... I will ask her if she'd like to be a pen pal to your daughter.
