Oomama and Bronte Grandmothers for Africa celebrate 10th anniversary Oakville's Bronte Grandmothers for Africa and Oomama are inviting residents to attend a March 5 event celebrating the 10 years the groups have spent supporting Africa's grandmothers and their families. International Women's Day 2016 marks the 10th anniversary of Canada's Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, an international grassroots movement that has raised millions of dollars in support of African grandmothers who are struggling to care for millions of children orphaned by AIDS. The campaign is made up of more than 240 grandmothers groups across the country, including Oakville's Bronte Grandmothers for Africa and Oomama. On Saturday, March 5, seven Grandmother groups in southern Ontario, including the two Oakville groups, will celebrate their work at Redeemer College at 777 Garner Rd. E., in Ancaster. The event, which is open to the public, features a keynote address titled African Grandmothers: From Unsung Heroes to Movers and Shakers -- What Next? by Ilana LandsbergLewis, executive director of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. "The Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign is unique in the world and this celebration is a wonderful opportunity to recognize the resilience of African grandmothers and the commitment of Canadian grandmothers to listen, learn and build solidarity with their sisters in Africa," said Landsberg-Lewis in a press release. In addition, attendees will enjoy a vibrant marketplace and entertainment featuring Canadian folksinger, Allison Lupton, as well as the Riddim Riders Reggae Band. The marketplace will run from 12-1:30 p.m. and the formal program from 1:30-4 p.m. The cost of attending is $30. Tickets can be ordered online at www.brownpapertickets. com/event/2465696. For more information, contact Theresa Randles at trandles@rogers. com or 905-765-5487. The Stephen Lewis Foundation first launched the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign in March 2006, in response to the emerging crisis faced by African grandmothers. The campaign aims to raise funds, awareness, build solidarity, and mobilize support in Canada for Africa's grandmothers and the communitybased organizations that support them.
