Our key objective is to nurture wisdom and live in harmony
We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) - UK charity number 1162663, run by 5 members of staff, who are volunteers. We dedicate our wisdom and energy to connect children around the world and give them the opportunity to gain communication skills and life-changing knowledge by understanding and embracing differences between us. It is very important to experience different cultures and understand the world through knowledge sharing, and this is a substantial matter to the next generations when distance is no longer exists in the modern world. We promote all forms of equal learning opportunities for people from all backgrounds and without regard to a person's race, age, religion, national origin, ancestry, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic.
Our Objectives
(1) Provide equal learning opportunities, embrace diversity;
(2) Improve literacy;
(3) Empower empathy, fairness and respect across nations;
(4) Promote mutual understanding across cultures;
(5) Promote Harmonic Problem-solving critical Thinking.


Our Projects
To achieve our objectives, we initiated projects and maintain relationships across countries through our global learning activities:
We have organised:
Pen Buddies Programme
Starting in April 2018, we have connected over 1,600 pen friends from the UK, Russia, Namibia, China, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. This is our core project with the hope to embrace diversity from a young age.
