This boy is writing letters to every country in the world
LONDON -- Nowadays, many kids probably spend more time typing on keyboards and touch screens than they do actually writing stuff by hand.
Not all children, though.
Toby Little started writing letters to different countries when he was five years old. The first one, written in the summer 2013, went to a friend of a friend in Hawaii. The letter was short, but it turned out to be only the beginning of what would eventually bloom into an enormous, global project.
