I have tried so many penpal clubs over the last 12 years or so and wanted to share this gem with others. Its free to register and they give out free credits to contact other members. I think the system works good as this site is free of scammers and advertisers which seem to plague many other sites. I felt comfortable enough to register my children on the site and now they have met some wonderful penpals also! If you do register your children, ensure you are monitoring communications whilst they are establishing their friendships - just to be on the safe sife. This is the internet after all.
This site is well established and is reliable. I am very thankful that it exists! Thank you Global Penfriends.
