Write Letters

If you would like to handwrite a letter and include a photo, please email a scanned copy of the letter to letters@paper-bridges.org.

Help us write letters to orphans around the world in orphanages like Orphan's Hope, CASA Guatemala, and Our Little Roses. We will proofread and word check it for you.

Be encouraging! Let the orphans know that you are looking out for them. Each letter should be from 100 to 500 words. A few suggestions:

• Get them to know you: Where are you from? Share your hobbies or daily activities
• Talk about school, sports, friends, or your hidden talents.



Here are some examples

Dear friend, How are you? I hope you find this letter cheer you up. I am looking forward to fall break at my school in east America. It is so cold, so I don't feel like going to school. I am so happy that we don't do a lot today, and are getting ready for the break. I like cooking on the break. I like making hot chocolate with marshmallows. I also like ham for Thanksgiving. What are your favorite foods? Also, if it gets super cold, I could make a snowman in front of my house. I love it also when we have no school when it snows really bad. What do you like to do? I want you to know that I care a lot about you. You are cared, and I enjoy writing these letters.
Dear friend! I am a grandmother living in North Carolina. I am of old age, so I have long forgotten what it is like to be young. However, I love young children and I will tell you this- you have a bright future ahead of you. You are still young, and many hopes and dreams are still ahead of you. I know your dreams may be put on hold right now, due to poverty, discrimination... all sorts of unfair circumstances. I hope and pray for people like you. I wish you find peace in reading this letter. Even though I know that this program is not for old folks like me, but I wish to be a part of a cause that I care about.
