Grands 'n' More is a group in Winnipeg that works to raise money to send to grandmothers in Africa who are looking after AIDS orphans. These African grandmothers have known the horror of burying their own children. They have been called upon to parent at an age in life when they would have expected to take their ease. Their situation is often desperate. However, they have found a strength and resilience in the middle of it all that is truly inspiring.
We were guests at the Grands 'n' More AGM. Our group of four represented the newly formed Treherne/Holland group called Grands Go 2 Gether, an umbrella group of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, as is the Winnipeg group. We were treated royally by the Winnipeg group.
At the meeting there was a presentation by two members of the Winnipeg group who traveled to Africa to see the work being done by the Canadian grandmothers' donations. They traveled to Ethiopia, Rwanda and South Africa. The power point presentation showed the amazing experience these two women had in Africa!
