Video-Cartas de Amigos

Video-Cartas (Letters) de Amigos is a cultural exchange between the children from Escuela Andres Portillo, the small primary school in San Martín Tilcajete, Oaxaca and the Amigos School, a bilingual urban public elementary school in Cambridge, MA. This exchange will be accomplished through the creation of "video-letters"

(a "pen–pal"-like relationship via brief informal videos)

by children in both schools and will culminate in an interactive video conference between the participating children. During the summer, a traditional, letter-based "pen–pal" relationship will be nurtured.
