Grandmothers And Grandothers, Barrie

They are members of Grandmothers And Grandothers in Barrie, part of the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers Campaign.  Through this movement, Canadian grandmothers raise funds so that grandmothers in Africa are able to raise the children orphaned by AIDS.  This is one of the many grandmother initiatives featured in Paola Gianturco’s book Grandmother Power.  (Paola is donating 100% of her royalties to the Grandmother’s Campaign.)
