Are you a kid who cares about the environment? Would you like to make a new friend in another country? In Mayumba, there are students who'd like to meet kids like you. Students in Mayumba speak, read, and write in French, but even if you speak another language, you can still send drawings or pictures.

Our Pen Pal theme is "Protect Our Ocean's Animals! ", so we're looking to exchange drawings of animals like sea turtles, whales, dolphins, sharks, and fish, the threats they face, and how we can protect them.

All you need to do is get some drawing paper, and pencils, markers, crayons, or paints, and draw your favorite ocean animal in its environment. Remember to write your name, age, and the town and country where you are from on your paper!

If you do know some French, or have someone who can help you translate, then write a short note describing who you are and what your environment is like. Maybe you could write a story or a poem about nature. It's all up to you! Let your imagination run wild, and creativity will take over. Good luck!

So, if you'd like to participate, email us at info@mayumbanationalpark.com. We'll match you with a student here, and give you the address for sending your drawings. Hope to hear from you soon!
