Set up pen pals with a class of 26 pupils

I am just wondering if any primary school teacher is interested in setting up pen pals with 26 second class (mixed) pupils? We are located in the West of Ireland and the children are 7-8 year old.

I am a teacher from Belarus. English is a foreign language for my pupils (8 - 10 years old). We are really interested in finding out more about the world outside our classroom.

What sort of project are you beginning in January? I'd love to join it but I have no experience in doing projects.
