Handmade greetings from Pakistan (Patreon)

We are lucky enough to be in touch with brilliant and thoughtful educators, animators, students and Patreon members like you all over the world. It's the best. Usually, all our communication happens digitally, but not always! Getting these gorgeous, handmade letters from TED-Ed Clubs in Karachi and Lahore was the best reminder that the work we do is out there engaging with real people. It sounds silly, but when you spend a lot of time on the internet, these little tangible moments mean a lot. 

So we wanted to share them with you. A reminder to you that your contributions are having real impacts on real people. 

Once again, we couldn't do this without you. Thank you for being part of this global community. And thank you to Aiza, Haseeb, Pashmia and all the other kind and articulate students who wrote to us.

Alexandra and the TED-Ed team

"Before I begin let me tell you about how much I would love to be a TEDEd member forever. This club has encouraged me to let out my feelings and create amazing topics related to the world we are living in. By brainstorming ideas and noting them down I feel more accomplished and a bit close to success. I appreciate the effort you guys have put to make our life better." - Aiza

"I was a huge introvert before I joined this club. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have brought me joy, and a lot of new friends." - Haseeb 

"If there would be no TEDEd Club, I would be never able to speak from my heart, and was never able to show my talent or experiences. This is awesome. Thank you." - Pashmia
