Hi, Dan,
I also have a daughter who is hoping to find an ePal. She is 8y old, however. She is much more mature and wiser than her years... I hear that girls are bit like that. Do you find? She, too, is interested in what the days are like for children her age where ever they are. She loves to write as well, and is often the one who carries on the correspondence for us to our family and friends back home. We are actually from the US and now living in Ireland the last two years. I am glad to say that she (and her 13y brother) adjusted very well to the changes and culture. She has quite a broad view to compare of life here and America. We travel back to Chicago and Virginia twice a year. Oy, the airfare!
Anyway, if your 9y old would like to write, shoot me a note so that I can forward her ePals email to you. My ePals address is lcamposmoya@epals.com.
Cheers,
Leila
