Elphos is all about sending positive messages using "snail-mail" as the main means of communication.

Why a letter? Why not an email?

When you send a handwritten letter you . . .

• Give someone something they can hold on to – through the good days and the bad.
• Provide a reminder to someone that they are important, and loved.
• Fill someone with hope – in themselves and in the goodness of other people.
• Remind them, on those days when they might feel small and insignificant, that others in the world have been positively impacted by their actions.
• Remind others of the emotional power of letter writing so that they, in turn, can impact the world around them.

Send an annoymous letter, or sign your name. Send a letter to a complete stranger, or to a person that lives next to you. The options for recipients are endless. Just fill a letter with something positive - stick a stamp to it, and send it.
