"More than 1,000 single mothers and fathers with children up to ten years of age have been able to choose grandparents for their children," reports Germany's newspaper Nassauische Neue Presse. "My real grandparents live a long way from Berlin," says seven-year-old Melanie. "Granny Klara lives just round the corner. She picks me up from school and goes with me to the zoo, the playground, and the swimming baths. She cooks, too, and eats with me and my mum at home." Granny Klara was sent by a "grandparent" service that makes senior citizens available to single parents for an hourly fee ranging from $3 to $5. "The project is just the right solution for single parents on a tight budget," says the report.
