Vegan Pen Pals

Many of our members have asked about getting our younger children on a Pen Pal list. Wouldn't it be great for our young children to know that there are other vegan children around the world just like them?

So here is the thread for introducing your child. Post the following info. If you think your child is a good match then send a private message to the poster to hook your kids up so they can start writing or emailing each other.

1. First name of child.
2. Birthdate and current age.
3. Where do you live?
4. Hobbies, interests,
5. How long the child has been vegan (or vegetarian)

Perhaps we'll even post some of the pen pal letters on VegFamily, so if you want to send us any of the letters, please do so!
