REFUGEE LETTER EXCHANGE

RESPECT introduces class to a class of refugee students of similar age and academic level by pen-pal letter exchange. Letter exchange can be conducted as a class, or a club activity. RESPECT has developed an ever-growing list of working relationships with schools servicing refugee, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and otherwise war-affected youth from around the world. Countries include Sierra Leone, Guinea, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Since the start of the project, RESPECT introduced over 3 000 refugee students to non-refugee students around the world. Exchanging letters with refugee students is very powerful. RESPECT hopes the experience will be personal, educational and inspirational.

Building awareness of world issues through videos and discussion and growing a personal connection between refugee and non-refugee students through letter exchange lead rather naturally to a desire to do something to help.
