| Dear Lavonna,
We are a grade school situated in the beautiful and peaceful nation of Ghana, this is an institution set up to educate young children as well as the less privileged in our society today. In a country like Ghana where poverty in all its forms abounds, it is not easy to find every child in school and we are doing everything possible to assist young people achieved knowledge to become useful in society. We are presently in search of a class to communicate with. We would want to extend to a whole school partnership in which respective classes will be paired with classes for project activities over time. We really want the partnership to be sustained over time. My students speak English as their first and only language. They however speak their local dialect. Most of the students are Liberian refugees from the refugee camp here in Ghana. As an instructor of cultural studies and geography I would like to connect my students to communicate with students in any part of the world (anywhere outside Africa). They would prefer U S A or Great British using basically snail mail or postal. This is due to the lack of internet access here. I believe this exchange will help develop their writing and reading skill and also help them understand their geographical setting. They will like to send in pictures and other needed items to their pen pals as well. Please our major problem here is postage. we will be able to communicate with only a class that will help us out on postage since we cannot afford the postage usually cost between 20- 76USD here per package depending on the number of students involve . The students here are very smart and are willing to share their experiences and daily life activities with students interested to carry out this project as the school year is continues. If interested, please contact us soon. We are looking forward to communicating with your students.
Sincerely
Mrs. Decontee Jolo |
