The largest and FREE Native American Prison Pen-Pals Website




News from Toja


19. August 2007

I have added a new design and about 80 new adds (and some address changes, re-adds). We got requests of about 50 new prisoners to whom we will send our form. And I had to refuse about 20 requests because the prisoners are not Native Americans and no females. As you know, this service is only for Native Americans and female prisoners.

Urgent - your support is needed!!!

It is time to tell you a little bit about me and also to apologize for the delay with new ads nd news in general.
I am sorry I could not ad new people to this side for a long time.

Since a longer time I had a bad burn out and was only coming slowly out of this black hole. I needed the energy that was left at that time to work my 3 jobs (2 during the day and 1 at night, no weekends, and no holidays) to feed my family and to do the most important things to survive. There was no energy, time and money left to do all the volunteer work as in the past. I also needed to start slowly to do something for myself and not only for others. Otherwise my balance would be completly disappeared.
The black hole is gone (thanks to the spirits) and I decided to spend more time for myself, my family, my friends and my animals. But I also will go on with my free services for Native American People. This website, the www.indigenoustourism.com website and the www.lakotawaldorfschool.org project and perhaps some new ideas I have.
I have only 1 fulltime job now and not 3 different ones. But this also means that there are not as many hours left in a day as I would need to update this website on a regular basic.
I am glad I have Antoinette by my side. She was and is a great supporter - many thanks Antoinette.

I am working on around 70 letters I got with different requests:

For a new ad, for changes of an ad, for informations, etc. This are only the letters I got myself, the letters Antoinette got are not counted in this 70 letters. Every letter we get means work for us - and we work for free as well we are paying the costs out from our pockets. We read it, we type it for the website, we answer it, we pay for the stamps, the paper, the envelope, we scan the photos, we send it back, we make researches if needed, we send emails, sometimes we even call.

Please take a look how you can support our work >>>
and take a look at our sale for Native American Craft-/Artwork >>>

16. September 2006

I went through the most of the letters and put many new prisoners on the website. Also more then 20 interested prisoners will get their application soon from Antoinette.
  • I made some address changes, changed some pictures and contents.
  • One prisoner wondered why he had not found a penpal in 2 months - smile - it needs patience and we cannot guarantee a penpal.
  • One prisoner wanted a photo of me. He found the love of his life through my website and makes a love story photo album. Because all started with my website, he asked for my photo to have the story from the beginning. I am happy for him and his girl. What a blessing.
  • On the 30. September I will go to a market near my home (I will go there right after my nightshift....) and make advertisement for our free service for Native American prisoners. And I will try to sell some prisoner artwork.
  • Soon we will have a sale in our ArtShop.
  • Soon I will offer you a direct link to Amazon (you can order there books for prisoners) and ebay, where we can make some money when you go from our website to them and order something.
  • Soon I will offer you more informations about inmate locators, etc.
  • And - I have alot more ideas, the only border is my limited time.

5. September 2006

Since July 2006, I got around 100 letters from prisoners. Either to make a new ad, to change an address, to be removed because they found somebody special, to ask for help.
I am still working on it and hope to have all updated soon.

Antoinette in USA and me pay all the costs out of our pockets. And we work for free too.
If you want to help with stamps, office supplies, etc. please make a donation to us - thx very much!


18. June 2006

I will be in the USA from the 27. June - 2. August. The office in Switzerland is closed then.

17. June 2006

I hooked up many new ads and made some updates.

9. April 2006

I am sorry to say that I have not the money (for the 1.-3. price winners) to make an Art-Contest 2006.

30. March 2006

I made a new design to this website. The reason was that the navigation could not be opened by some people, because they don't allow Java Script. So I made a really simple one for everybody. I hope it works and you enjoy it.
The Teepee's in the background were by the Little Bighorn Trading Post, in the near of the Little Bighorn Battlefield, when I was there in 2004.

September 2005

I am happy to welcome Antoinette Christaldi as the new director of our new office in USA >>>

22. August 2005
I removed the "Love Stories" page.
People wanted to be on it, and people wanted to be removed because the love was
gone, nobody should know it, the man had more than one girlfriend, etc.
I think it is better not to have a love stories page online, even I thought in the past it is a
nice idea.

I would first introduce myself, I am Garfield Feather, the younger brother (1 year) of Faralyn Feather.
As you may be already aware of, my younger brother ended his walk March 22, 2005.
I would like to extend my belated "Thank You" for your generosity, concern, and caring for not only my brother but for his family as well.
Your heart has touched mine and that of our family. I know that from the Spirit World my brother sees the goodness, strength, and light of your heart and spirit.
So know it is from my heart that I say "Pidamaya yedo mi koda", Thank You my friend.
A Ihanktawan Dakota, Garfield Feather

New Volunteer - Miriam
Translations German - English - German
I am happy to tell you that she will
make the translations of important papers, flyers, etc.
Everything she translated will have her name on it.
Smile, but I think you can see the difference immediately between her English
and my Tourist slang ;-)

Thank you very much Miriam!
