I had a Sister from Murray Utah email me with the following request:

As you know, the theme this year is "I am a child of God".  We thought it would be a good idea to help children, especially those that don't have a lot of members around them, feel like they are not so alone and to bring home the point that we are all children of our Heavenly Father.  As such, we'd like to send correspondence with other primary children around the world.  Because of language barriers, preferably with English speaking countries or within the U.S. or in Spanish as that is another language that I speak.

It has been difficult to locate a lot of addresses or email addresses in order to get this project going.  So, I was wondering if it might be possible to forward this message to others that might be interested in participating or post the idea on the site.  The safety of our children is of great concern, so the letters should be written/supervised by the teachers and read by the primary presidency prior to submission to other wards.

It's wonderful to think of the many members of the church in the world and the great good that they accomplish and we feel that this would help us feel closer to our brothers and sisters outside our local neighborhoods.  So, any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
