GRANDMA-2-GRANDMA
(Bibi-2-Bibi in Kiswahili)

Imagine that your grown children have died of AIDS, and now you must raise your beloved grandchildren -- on less than $1 a day. That's the plight of thousands of African grandmothers. You can help grandmothers feed, clothe and educate their grandchildren by "adopting" one.

You will receive a photo of "your grandma" with her grandchild(ren), names and ages and information on their circumstances - personally gathered by "Bibi Jann" in the village of Mbagala outside the capital city of Dar es Salaam. Some grandmas are raising as many as nine and 10 grandchildren and the need is great.

Tell your friends, tell your kids it's what you want for Mother's Day, birthday, Christmas, Hanukkah - or to celebrate becoming a grandmother! Or honor your own mom, grandma, nana - or a friend who is a grandparent - by adopting a grandma now. This is a gratifying activity to share with your own grandchildren.
