Education

One of our objectives is to increase our knowledge of the African continent:  its geography, history, and current conditions. To that end, we include education as part of most of our general meetings.  Guest speakers include people who have travelled and worked in African countries, and people who have lived there and came to Canada as refugees or immigrants. The first-hand stories, delivered so eloquently, along with slides showing the actual conditions, help to inform us.

We thank our presenters for taking the time to share their knowledge and experience with us.  It helps us to focus on the work we do.

Speakers’ Group

We have been making presentations to a variety of local organizations, from church groups to elementary and high school classes. The presentations can take a number of forms:

• Speaking only, with brochures for handouts, and the length of time determined between the organization and our speaker.
• DVDs produced by and for the Stephen Lewis Foundation can be shown.
• PowerPoint presentations, which can be customized to the group.

If your organization would like us to make a presentation, please contact us at 781-2946 or g4gregina@sasktel.net

What We Do

We are a group of Regina and area grandmothers and others who are dedicated to alleviating the plight of grandmothers in Africa as they care for children orphaned by the AIDS pandemic. This nation-wide movement has been inspired by and supports the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s (SLF) Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign.
