Pen Pal Planet seeks Russians aged 12-13

to correspond with American youths


If you live in Russia or any former-Soviet country, you are age 12 or 13, and you study English, there are American youths who want to be your friend by mail. If you are interested, please send your name and address (neatly, don't forget your index) plus your age, hobbies and interests to:

Pen Pal Planet
Box 3657
Scranton, PA 18505
USA
If it's easier, send the information by e-mail to: [email protected]

Since 1990, Pen Pal Planet has helped form friendships among approximately 25,000 Americans and Russians. We consider each pen pal individually -- we don't just hand out lists of names and call each name on the list a "match."

Technically we are a for-profit business, but no profit is taken. We work with the cooperation of the journal Studencheskiy Meridian (Student Meridian), in Moscow, which is generally for youths in their upper teen years, as well as young adults.

All of our pen pals communicate by "regular" mail. Fortunately, 1995 saw marked improvements in mail-delivery times between our two countries, and very few letters are now being lost.
