Summary

[edit]
Description
Afrikaans: Bayee Waqo (12) is vernoem na haar ouma Bayee Chumee (82). Toe ouma Bayee se seun en skoondogter albei aan vigs sterf, het sy die sorg van hul twee jaar oue dogter oorgeneem. 'n Paar jaar later, na herhaalde siekte, is die dogter as MIV-positief gediagnoseer, en ontvang sedertdien behandeling. Op 82 raak ouma Bayee te swak vir al die huishoudelike take, sodat haar kleindogter haar nou bystaan met die bymekaarmaak van vuurmaakhout, haal van water, maak van koffie en bak van brood.
“My kleindogter is my steunpilaar; Ek is te swak om hierdie take gereeld te doen.” Grootouers moet dikwels ingryp waar kinders deur vigs wees gelaat word; en hierdie las val grootliks op vroue. Bayee Waqo gaan skool toe en ontvang voedselhulp en skoolbenodigdhede danksy die bystand van Trócaire se plaaslike vennoot Action for Development. “Ek hoop dat sy haar onderrig sal voltooi en werk sal kry om ons te onderhou,” sê ouma Bayee.

English: Bayee Waqo (12) was named after her grandmother Bayee Chumee (82). When her son and his wife both died of AIDS, Chumee took on the care of their daughter who was just two years old. Some years later, after repeated illness, the young girl was diagnosed HIV positive, and she has been on treatment since. At 82, Chumee is getting too weak for all the household chores, so her granddaughter helps by collecting firewood, fetching water, making coffee and baking bread.
“My granddaughter is my guide; I am too weak to do these activities often.” Grandparents often find themselves responsible for the care of children orphaned by AIDS; and this burden overwhelmingly falls on women. Bayee Waqo goes to school and receives food aid and school supplies with the support of Trócaire’s local partner Action for Development. “I have hope that she will complete her education and get a job to support us,” says Chumee.
