add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
At the Comox Valley launch of "Powered by Love: A Grandmothers' Movement to End AIDS", African grandmothers will be part of a panel along with the book's photographer discussing their involvement with the Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. After the discussion, there will be time to mingle with our guests and ask questions
Author Joanna Henry and photographer Alexis MacDonald visited eight African countries, interviewing and photographing hundreds of grandmothers (including Sarah Obama, Barack Obama's grandmother) who, with the support of their sisters in Canada and now around the world, are raising their grandchildren and rebuilding their communities.
Books will be available at this event courtesy of Laughing Oyster Bookshop. All royalties from the sale of books will be directed to the Stephen Lewis Foundation to support organizations run by and for African grandmothers.
