NOTE:
Due to the current situation with Russia internationally, we are very sad to announce that Wisdom Foundation is unable to provide Pen Buddies connection with Russia until further notice.
We have connected over 1,600 pen buddies from the UK, Russia, Namibia, China, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia since 2018.
Pen Buddies is a programme initiated by Wisdom Foundation to provide a safe platform for kids to make pen friends, learn about cultures around the world and grow wisdom together. Through workshops and letter exchange, we enable the children to overcome communication challenges, build their self-confidence, cultivate gratitude from mutual understanding, also reduce bullying and discrimination. We aim to cultivate the younger generation's aspiration to live in harmony and enjoy a better world.
