Since 1989 we have been linking children in Aspen, Colorado and Malawi, Central Africa as pen pals. This Internet exhibition describes the relationship between pen pals in Aspen and Malawi.
We need your support to reach many more children in the United States and Africa. If you would like to see our documentary film about the pen pals, or if you can help support our educational programs, please contact us! Click here to see our poster.
Abwenzi's documentary film, "Letters from Africa," takes you to the warm heart of Africa with pen pals from Malawi and their friends in Colorado.
