Rewarding, engaging, fun and MEANINGFUL! I've been an In2Books pen pal for three years and every year I've loved exchanging letters with my student pen pal about great books! My pen pal, Austin, and I are currently reading a biography of Gandhi and discussing what it means to be a hero. It's got to be a well-designed, brilliant program when adults and children who otherwise have no connection begin to build relationships, write thoughtful letters and talk about changing the world! I plan to participate for years to come!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
As a pen pal, I get the satisfaction of knowing that I am helping a young child grow into a literate, thoughtful, well-read member of society. And, I get to learn from my student and be inspired as I see the world through the eyes of a fifth grader.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I cannot think of anything I'd change about In2Books. If only more adults and children could be lucky enough to participate!
MY ROLE:
Volunteer & I've been a pen pal for high risk students for three years.
