Street said that by setting up this transatlantic electronic pen-pal program, students will become exposed to the world. He said, “Your travels make you wiser.”
“There are many stereotypes about Africa. When they see the kids, they won’t see lions and tigers in the background, in reality, they’ll see kids that look just like them,” Street said.
Plans are in the works to expand the program to Jamaica next year.
The contest is open to both elementary and middle schools, and the deadline has been extended from Feb. 28 to March 15. To enter, send a fax, postcard or letter with the name of the teacher, the name of the school and your complete contact information to:
