What our members say

a website is as good as the people who are on there... I value the different ways to become a pen pal. even i am not interested in snail mail, as it is too expensiv. in the past, i made the experience it is a great thing to not only get to know a person, but also the life where this person is living. it is like travelling without leaving home.

I got the best friends through GPF. It was an experience that connected me with people I might never have met otherwise. At first, I joined for the program itself, but what stayed with me was the friendships. We worked together, shared ideas, and supported each other in different tasks. Over time, those connections grew stronger, and I realized that GPF gave me more than just knowledge or activities. It gave me friends I can share my thoughts, people who understand me and stand by me. Looking back, I see that the most valuable outcome of GPF was not only the program but the lasting friendships I gained.😀
