If you're simply looking for a pen-pal, you can always write someone in prison. Two sites would be http://writeaprisoner.com/ and http://www.meet-an-inmate.com/ With very limited or no access to email, prisoners remain one of the last pen-pal groups.
Years ago, from Europe, I have been the pen pal of an inmate on death row in Huntsville, TX. It is a great experience and you truly get more than you give. But do it only if you can commit to it, keep in mind that the other person does not have much choice.
