From Maha To Habib In Germany

A Message From A New Friend, Mr. John Parisi

Dear Ms. Rawya: To introduce myself, my name is John, and I live in America. I am eighty years old, retired from the Post Office and now would like to write to someone in a foreign country like Lebanon. Lebanon is a very interesting country to learn about. Now that I am retired I can pursue what interest me the most, and that is to write to someone in another country, and to learn their customs etc.. I have much experience with six to eight year olds. Sometimes I go to our school and tell stories to the children. I don't have a picture to send you by computer. If I have the name of the school and the address I would like to write and put pictures in the mail. It is wonderful that you are teaching the children English.Tell your students hello for me, hello, from someone far away. I would like to hear from you. Sincerely yours, John Parisi

Habib wants to learn more about his culture, the life, and every day experience in Lebanon. Habib, we are so delighted to receive your letter. Your teacher told us a lot about you. We'll write you back and send pictures soon. We all love you!
