Bringing Teenagers to Jeddah

Helppppppp..we've just informed our teenage son and daughter that we have accepted teaching jobs in Jeddah on the basis of getting them both into 2 of the best schools there....however, they are not happy......largely because we are uplifting them out of their comfort zone :( and moving them away from their friendship networks....

Does anyone know of any families living in Sharbatly Village - which is where we will
be living, who have kids I can introduce my kids to as pen pals until we move out???

Right now I feel like an evil step mother :(...my kids are soooo miserable....
