I'm looking for a Spanish pen pal in Tenerife for my son to help with his studies.

I wonder if someonecan help,

My eldest son is starting high school next week an oneof the subjects he is looking forward to is spanish,

To help him with his spanish i had the idea of trying to set up a pen pal or exchange student with a child the same age who lives in Tenerife,We own a home in los cristianos and are on the island very often.

If anyone know anyone i can talk to about the possibility i would be vey grateful.

Obviously i would be prepared to undergo any vetting required as i appreciate we have to tread very carefully

I'll see what I can do.

You'll have to wait until I return to school though, so in the next couple of weeks.

I have already organised a penpal exchange programme with my students that I've been doing for the past term with a school in Salisbury and that will continue... however if I've got any spare kids, I'll try and hook him up.

Alternatively, I might be able to find someone in the village that would write to him.

Oh that will be great,It will give us a chance to get my boys back to school,I am really grateful and hope you can help us out.

If you want reminding of who we are then there is a picture of us on the armarda site in the gin and tonic bar just after the sporting gijon game,my son is wearing the cdt Shirt,He wears that to every trainig session.

We will no doubt meet during the next footie season so until then or before

Thanks
Nigel
