Paddington’s Postcards: Receiving mail can be fun for everyone
August 16, 2024
A monthly donation with a bear-sized thank you.
UNICEF Canada’s Paddington’s Postcards is a 12-month subscription where Paddington™ sends a special child in your life a mail package from a different country every month.
With each package, your child explores a different country and learns more about the life of a child who lives there – it’s a wonderful way to teach your little one about children, families and communities around the world. In turn, your monthly donation helps UNICEF support children around the world!
It’s a fun little activity you can look forward to every month with your child – but don’t let us tell you how fun it is, let’s hear it from a happy customer! Brad Quiring writes from British Columbia on the excitement Paddington’s Postcards has generated in his home.
Okay, UNICEF Canada, you win.
You officially have my favourite monthly giving program.
I signed up for Paddington’s Postcards about a month ago. It took a bit longer than expected to arrive, but my kids were soooo excited when it showed up today.
(they’ve been checking the mailbox every. single. day)
Heck, even I got excited seeing this envelope. How can you not?
Here’s what the pack included ...
- the loveliest letter — addressed to my kids, *not* me 😍
- a world map
- a travel journal
- stickers
- a postcard from London.
And get this — every month, Paddington is going to send us a postcard from a new country.
As a family, we’ll keep track of the places we’ve “gone to” by adding the sticker to our travel journal and reading about a child who has been helped by the org.
I love it on so many levels.
But the thing I love the MOST?
It’s the fact that my kids are *already* asking when the next “message from Paddington” is going to arrive. And now, my wife and I get the opportunity to talk to them about why we — as a family — choose generosity.
Bravo, UNICEF. Bravo.
You're impacting kids all around the world. Here in Canada, too.
