"The Role of Grandmothers in African Societies"
In late 2006, GMP developed a booklet on the role of grandmothers in the Halpular culture for use in schools and literacy classes in southern Senegal, with support from World Vision. Teachers have been trained on the use of the booklet to promote cultural values and respect for elders.
The booklets are now being used in more than 30 schools.
