E-Letter Writing Tips

Children and young people treasure letters they receive! Given the cultural context, here are some important things to bear in mind when you’re writing your letters:

Helpful Tips

Children love stories about animals, and Australia has so many unique native creatures.
In your letter, you could share a story about your favourite native animal, or animals found where you live or where you take holidays.
Keep in mind that Child Partners and their families may not celebrate Christmas but feel free to discuss your family’s holiday traditions in your letter.

Things To Avoid

Feel free to talk about your own personal faith, however please refrain from teaching or evangelising.
For safeguarding reasons, we ask that you don’t imply that you might visit, or that they might one day visit you.
For privacy and protection be careful not to disclose information like your last name and suburb.
