UPDATED:
I created pages for each of the pets to follow them on their adventure!
My triplet daughters have a second grade school project that I would like some help with. It’s called Pets around the World. Essentially, they each have been given a small stuffed pet and a journal. Their mission is to send their pet on an adventure with the eventual homecoming sometime in April. Here is where I need your help.
To participate in this adventure, you would have to agree to accept this small envelope, add to the journal and then forward it to a friend. Eventually, as April 1 approaches, the person who has the animal at that time would then send it back to the school in time for their reunion party.
My oldest daughter did this in 2nd Grade also and Weber took a trip around the world!
How do you participate? Leave a comment to this post and I’ll contact you to get your mailing information. This is an awesome experience for the girls because it helps them learn about other cultures and to realize that we are all pretty much the same!
If you live outside the U.S. or know people outside the U.S. that would be willing to participate, please comment below! Eventually, I’ll have a separate page here to track each of the animals on their journey around the world.

I did something similar for my friends sons with a “Flat Stan” picture. Happy to help here. I’m in London, England. You can see the mischeif Flat Stan got up to here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/parkylondon/sets/72057594051255119/

I would be happy to participate in this, so feel free to send one of them my way to Norway, however, if there is an upper age limit it should be noted that I am 18 years old.
However, as I have no contacts to speak of I am hoping you could provide me with an address to forward it on to after I have had it.

If you receive one of these animals and you wish to have an address to send it on to, please send me an email or leave a post and I’ll get you a destination to send it on to. Thank you again for your participation.

Just heard your message on the DSC. I’m sure my 2,5 yo daughter would love to help. Just drop me a line if you think the pets are ready to come to Portugal.

Just heard about your project on the DSC. I’m an airline pilot based in Boston and I’d love to fly one over the Atlantic to London on Friday if you can send it on Wednesday overnight. I won’t be doing a London flight again, hence the need to send it quick. I will be meeting up with a friend in London who could take it to her home in Ireland. She and I will document the travels, of course. I’m happy to pay the FedEx charges to get the animal to NH. Hope I can help! -Kent

Hey – just caught up on the DSC episodes. If you still need help, I’d be very happy to have a pet visit me on Morecambe Bay and the Lake District in the UK. May be able to send it on to my brother in Thailand too!
