Hong Kong Collaboration - Video Pals exchanging video letters with HK and China The video-letter will actually be quite organized. Partners should follow our format, i.e. a show-and-tell element, an activity element, and a game element. We are currently contemplating publishing the video letter on www.veoh.com so as to cut down on physically mailing videos back and forth. Nonetheless, we can make special arrangements for schools who wish to have the "real thing". Please note that we are planning to exchange at least 3 video-letters this year. Also, we anticipate that each video-letter will be about 15-20 minutes long.
