I participated in Oregon Humanities first Dear Stranger project where you write a letter to a stranger (the theme was "me") send it to Dear Stranger at Oregon Humanities with a SASE. They shuffle the letters and send you one, theoretically from another part of the state. I got my letter in right before the May 5 deadline, but I was still surprised to find a letter in my mailbox on May 9.
My letter was not from someone in Oregon, it was from a student in Wisconsin who was writing the letter as part of a college assignment. She also did not include a return address, so that was unfortunate. Still, I enjoyed the mail and hope that the person who got my letter will write me back. I really need more pen pals.
If you are interested in participating in Dear Stranger in August, sign up for the Oregon Humanities newsletter.
That's too bad that she didn't include her return address. Since she was a student, perhaps she was moving at the end of the year? I also hope you hear back from the person who got your letter!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project. I hope your Oregon pen pal emerges!
