The information on this page is geared toward non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) and Friends of Kid2Kid who would like information
about partnering with Kid2Kid.
NGO’s Role
We value your participation and contribution to Kid2Kid. NGOs play
an essential role in ensuring that Kid2Kid's goals are met.
Here's how it works:
- We partner with NGOs worldwide that work with kids (ages 6-12)
who would like to make a new friend, and find out all about how
they live in their country.
- We ask that you identify how many children you
work with between the ages of 6-12 who would enjoy “meeting”
children from far away, and send a photograph of a representative
group of kids with a brief description of who they are.
- We will post this photo on our website so that kids around the
world will "meet" your children. These classroom kids
will learn about your country and write letters to the children
you have identified.
- Each of your children will receive a letter from a classroom
kid, of a similar age, from somewhere around the globe, with an
enclosed photograph and/or artwork.
- When the letters arrive we ask that you translate them, if necessary,
and hand-deliver them to your children. If possible take another
photo of your children opening their letters and “meeting”
their new friends so that we can immediately put this on our web
site for all to see.
