Meet Astridah Cheelo #91 with her Grandmother Part 1


On the video is the child sponsorship employee Solomon Mweemba talking to the grandmother of Astridah about Astridah's situation. The grandmother said that the girl`s name was Astridah Cheelo and was doing grade 5 at Simwaba basic school. The grandmother was asked how she survived looking after Astridah and she said that she depended on charcoal burning which she sold in order to raise money to support the children in school.
The home you see is typical of the homes you find at this village.

Isn't the grandmother the sweetest?! She is so animated when she talks. I bet she is a lot of fun to be around!
