Messages of Joy combating Solitude - Spreading Happiness through Letter Writing
Older individuals who find themselves isolated from the world could receive a boost of happiness through simple, handwritten correspondence. The "Letters against Loneliness" initiative allows participants to contribute by sending letters, postcards, or even drawings to brighten someone's day.
Get creative and show compassion: From letters to poems, the possibilities for spreading joy are endless. Small puzzles or personal stories are popular choices. Recipients will appreciate learning about you and sharing a glimpse of your life.
Joining the action is made easy:
- Compose your letter: Use your creativity and invest in meaningful and compassionate communication.
- Mail it: Either post your letter or digitally send it to a youngcaritas location. Addresses are organized by postal codes.
- Make a difference: youngcaritas will distribute your post to facilities housing older people.
It's essential to note the Easter action deadline to ensure your letter arrives timely.
