Frequently asked questions
Why is there a fee?
We are a small, all-volunteer non-profit organization, and the fees help cover our cost of running the program.
How did the Amazing Kids! PenPals Program begin?
The program began as a way of reaching out to the children affected by the devastating (毁灭性的) hurricanes of 2005. Our hope was that by matching young hurricane survivors with a new pen pal, we could help them in their recovery from the trauma (创伤) they experienced.
The program is now available to all children worldwide. We continue to welcome teachers, youth groups or agencies who like to work with hurricane survivors.
How does it work?
Amazing Kids! will match students of the same gender and age with other students who may share similar interests and hobbies, based on the information provided on the registration form.
I’ve completed all forms and made my payment. What happens next?
Someone from Amazing Kids! will contact you once a match has been found. You will be asked to call the other parent, teacher or group leader of the pen pal Amazing Kids! has selected. If both adults agree that the pen pal match is a good one, then the students may begin writing to each other. If the match is determined not to be a good one, Amazing Kids! will try and find an alternative match.

I have a seven-year-old son named John. He loves chocolates. He often takes chocolates instead of meals.
Therefore, he gets very bad teeth. The dentist (牙医) told me not to let him eat chocolates any more. But his

teeth. I know that John is his only grandson, who is everything to him. I really don"t want to make him

I left his bedroom. A few minutes later, I heard John shouting word by word. "Tomorrow-is-my-birthday.

shouting out his prayers. I said, "Don"t shout, John. Your Dad is sleeping now! God can hear you no matter
