I will always write back : how one letter changed two lives Cover Image Book

I will always write back : how one letter changed two lives / Caitlin Alifirenka & Martin Ganda ; with Liz Welch.

Alifirenka, Caitlin, (author.). Ganda, Martin, (author.). Welch, Liz, 1969- (author.).

Summary:

It started as an assignment. Everyone in Caitlin's class wrote to an unknown student somewhere in a distant place. All the other kids picked countries like France or Germany, but when Caitlin saw Zimbabwe written on the board, it sounded like the most exotic place she had ever heard of -- so she chose it. Martin was lucky to even receive a pen pal letter. There were only ten letters, and forty kids in his class. But he was the top student, so he got the first one. That letter was the beginning of a correspondence that spanned six years and changed two lives.
