Interested In Online Friendships?

From their website:

e-Buddies fulfills the mission of Best Buddies by facilitating e-mail friendships between children and adults with intellectual disabilities and their peers who do not have intellectual disabilities. Individuals are matched in e-mail friendships based on age, gender, geography, and similar interests. e-Buddies never matches individuals
that reside in the same state. We ask members to e-mail each other at least once
a week.

e-Buddies provides individuals with intellectual disabilities an
opportunity to develop new friendships while acquiring much needed computer
skills. The benefits of that are immeasurable.

I joined, and it's pretty fun and very easy. My new friend is easy to talk to, and she's got quite a lot to say herself.
