We are inviting you to write to someone you don’t know and tell them how you feel
Lets’ start writing…we would like you to send us a letter about how you feel. You do not need to put your name on your letter, or you can use a ‘pen name’. If you would like a letter back you will need to give us your address. Your address will not be passed on to anyone else and will be kept confidential and only used for this project.
