If you've been following this blog, you will see a new addition in the Links section. I've added the website for Grannies a Gogo. My sister Sue is the founding member and chairperson of this group of "grannies" from Vernon, BC who have connected with gogos (the word for grandmother in Zulu) in Sabie, a village in rural South Africa.
From 2001 to 2005, Sue and her husband Ken lived in Sabie but have now moved back to Vernon. They continue to make regular trips back to see the friends and offer encouragement with projects they were involved in during their time there.
The gogos in Sabie have many things on the go, not the least of which is raising their AIDS-orphaned grandchildren. The Grannies website notes that there are an estimated 2.5 million AIDS-orphaned children in South Africa alone.
I have really been enjoying Sue's blog within the site and I would encourage you to check it out as well. Her posts are quick snippets of what's happening with the group, now that she's over there for a visit. I am inspired by her posts and by her writing as well. As usual, the little sister could learn a thing or two. Don't be so wordy . . . keep it short and snappy.
