Georgina Flores and Lorena Mier y Teran are the founders of We Love From (WLF), a letter-writing initiative which they run from their hometown in Merida, Mexico. They met during the Creative Leadership conference in 2020 and struck up a friendship when they discovered that they lived in the same city.
A couple of months after the conference finished, Georgina came up with the idea of sending letters of love and hope to people across the world who are facing difficult situations. Lorena loved the idea and together they founded We Love From.
They reached out to their friends and family and even to schools, asking people to create handwritten letters to Lebanon, Zimbabwe, Honduras and Colombia. The response was amazing and surprising. Those who received the letters were so filled with joy, they expressed their gratitude on social media.
‘I would never have thought that with a piece of paper, a pencil and a little bit of your time and effort, you can really make a difference in someone else’s life!’ says Lorena.
This experience has taught Georgina to ‘never underestimate the power of [my] ideas, even if they seem small’.
I would never have thought that with a piece of paper, a pencil and a little bit of your time and effort, you can really make a difference in someone else’s life!
______________________________________________________________
We took the opportunity to ask Georgina and Lorena a few more questions:
How did the idea of We Love From come about?
We wanted to give emotional support to people who were far away – and this was a relatively easy way to do so. We also wanted to engage as many people as possible, and to increase awareness of what is happening all across the globe. Letter-writing achieves both of these goals.
How do you implement the project?
