Country queen Taylor Swift has lent her penmanship -- and kisses -- to raising funds for needy children.

The singer signed a custom collectable Zambi Baby Elephant, and is auctioning off the stuffed animal to raise funds for Family Health International. FHI is an organization that provides basic needs -- including healthcare, food and nutrition, water and clothing -- to children orphaned by AIDS.

The auction begins today, October 5, and runs through October 15. For more information on how to bid on Taylor's elephant, visit www.orphans.fhi.org.
