Angèle Oberheinrich introduces the Granny Cloud, a team of volunteers all over the world that reaches out to children with limited educational resources around the globe in a variety of settings and provides them with the opportunity to experience worlds far removed from their own. Members of the Granny Cloud interact with groups of children, engaging them in conversation and in activities of various kinds, such as reading and telling stories, craft activities, solving puzzles and exploring big questions. The role of the Granny includes provoking curiosity, asking questions, listening attentively and providing warm encouragement. You don't have to be a grandmother to become part of the team - volunteers are between 24 and 78 years old and male as well as female.

For many years, Angèle Oberheinrich has been volunteering for the Granny Cloud. With lots of enthusiasm and untiring dedication, she applies her energies to supporting children all over the world.
