LAISO – Letters Against Isolation – project interview

Who are you?

We’re Hannah and Minseo, two high school students from Melbourne, Australia with a passion for helping others. Nice to meet you!

What is LAISO?

LAISO was born at the height of the covid19 crisis – we are a community organisation that sends letters to those who may be feeling lonely or isolated, especially residents at aged care facilities. Our core belief is that no one should feel alone – we hope to achieve that through the power of pen and paper.

How can I get involved?

Click the link in our bio and sign up using the form – it’s quick, easy, and 100% free.

What will you do with my information?

Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us! We won’t sell or give away any of your information to third parties, and the only people who see your letters will be us, you, and your recipient.

Does it cost money to join?

Nope! We are a 100% nonprofit organisation.

Do I need to be local?

Anyone can join LAISO! All you need is some pen and paper. We like to think of ourselves as young and hip – delivering handwritten letters through the power of the internet. When you finish writing your letters you will be asked to scan and email them to us for delivery and distribution – no envelopes, stamps, or addresses. We recommend scanning with the notes app (iOS) or notebloc (android).
