Jacquie’s Mother

When Jacquie’s mother, Suzanne Mouland-Chmilar received the mail and read it, at first she thought it was a kind of a joke. She could not believe that anything of this sort could happen in today’s fast paced and introverted world. Then she saw the picture of the letter that was attached in the mail and screamed in surprise when she saw her daughter’s handwriting. 

Newly Found Friends

After exchanging a few emails, the two kids got in contact with each other through their parents. They were happy to have found a friend in each other from such far-off distances but with the same kind of thoughts and liking. None of them had imagined such a thing to happen at such a small age. 

Writing Letters

Noah and Jacquie started as friends and credit the letter for their friendship. It was the letter that made them both acquainted with each other and after that, they both decided to continue writing letters back and forth to each other and never break the flow.

Interviews

As soon as this magical news reached the media, various people came in to interview both Noah and Jacquie and they became famous overnight. Though they both are connected as two characters of their story, they haven’t met each other in person. Both the kids hope to meet in person someday. 

Awareness

The most positive part of this whole magical event has been that the concern of seawater pollution has also reached the readers of the story, and is also spreading with each new reader. Nick Crooks says: “It all highlights the issue involving plastic pollution, so that’s good as well.” 

Miracle

At first Noah’s father Nick did not believe his discovery, but later he added, “When he said he had found a message, I just thought someone had shoved a piece of paper in and didn’t think much of it. But when we opened it and realized it was a message and that it had traveled so far, it brought out the inner child in me — I was quite excited about it. It’s not something you find every day.”
