“wedge”, a wedge to open the door of love more easily. This is a wonderful opportunity to put
into words your feelings for your love ones, your hopes, dreams, love and pride. These letters
are personal and will only be read by your parents.

write a love, sincere, apology letter to their parents and the letter they made will distribute to
the parent`s formation next week secretly by facilitator.

your relationship special, and demonstrates what makes the person you are with amazing to
you. Finally, a palanca letter allows your parent to see themselves through your hearts, which
is, in itself, a gift. It's because they give you unconditionally whether it's love, support, or
anything. They spend their whole life in grooming you, raising you, and making you what you
are today. Most of you would not be at this place if your parents didn't support or encourage
you morally as well as financially. The Palanca letter will help them to reach what they want to
say to their parents which they didn`t tell personally but in a creative way.
