Pen pals from Canada and Singapore meet for the first time after 43 years

Michelle Anne Ng from Singapore and Sonya Clarke Casey from Newfoundland began exchanging letters in 1983 through a school project. Over 43 years, their correspondence became a record of their lives.

The two women met for the first time in Newfoundland earlier this month. For both women, not even technology replaces the feeling of receiving a handwritten letter.
