I found the whole process very easy and have made lots of new friends. Also love the fact that Global Penfriends are very security conscious and have removed a couple of penpals who may have been scammers. I would thoroughly recommend

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.😀
