Book series- invitation to participate

Through the McMaster Centre for Gerontological Studies, I am editing a book series "Writing Down Our Years". For a due date of June 30th I am recruiting stories and poems about family caregiving. It would be great to have a story/poem (or multiple stories) about one or more grandmothers raising orphans in Africa to provide an international perspective on caregiving and to honour these heroes of Africa. It could be written by a Canadian grandmother or recruited directly from some of the grandmothers connected to the SLF - perhaps something already on the web reshaped for the anthology. It could also be fiction based on the many stories of the grandmothers.
