Dear Zink Creators,
Thank you! Zink the Zebra is a good character to look up to. She has a very good story too. She is also very cute. I love my Zink toy I got from camp.
Another letter we received is from a Girl Scout in Connecticut.
Dear Zink the Zebra Foundation,

More touching notes:
I am a Girl Scout leader, in California. I love this program! I am also the mother of a son with cerebral palsy. Divesity is our family's mainstream.
Blessing to the family of a beautiful angel, Kelly.
Dear Zink,
I am your biggest fan. I got a Zink the Zebra stuffed animal at the Zink the Zebra Workshop at a Girl Scout meeting. I love Zink the Zebra. Zink taught me a very good lesson. It doesn't matter what's outside, it matters what's inside.
Love your friend,
Katie
My friends at Zink,
I was made aware of your organization through a class that I am taking at UW-Milwaukee (fundraising-with Jill Pelisek). Mr. Weil is to be our guest speaker this evening, so I decided to investigate just what Zink the Zebra is. Well-the story of how Zink came to be has brought tears to my eyes. As a person who lives with the condition of lymphangioma behind my optic nerve, I had to endure many stares, taunts and rejection as a child-and unfotunately still have negative reactions from adults. Children are so loving-and I beleive that understanding is the key to acceptance. I absolutely think that this organization is wonderful in its mission and outreach. I have committed myself to signing up to become involved with the girl scouts at my daughter's school and to promote Zink. I will spread the word about this great program to those that I know who are involved in the education of young children.
Keep up the good work.
Sara
