The women's program is a lot of fun for the women and their international penpals. These women serve other day in and day out raising their grandkids, working in the fields, cooking the meals,etc. When other women in other parts of the world may be retired from their jobs and able to rest, these women have never had a rest.
This program allows them to think of themselves- if only for a few moments a day as they write a letter to their penpal or read one from their penpal. When their penpal sends a gift, this puts a smile on their face because someone far away cares about them and their well-being.
I have put 9 more faces in this post. If you would like to be a penpal to one of these ladies, please let me know.
