Victoria Grandmothers for Africa is one of over 250 Canadian groups working to raise funds and awareness for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. This Campaign supports the work of African grandmothers caring for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
Since Victoria Grandmothers for Africa is a large group, we encourage members to join a working group that interests them. These smaller groups enable members to get to know one another and make friends while engaging in the important work of the Grandmothers Campaign.
For more information, please contact the 2019 coordinator, Lisbie Rae

Quote of the week
In a recent interview, Jane Fonda said: “When you’re older, what have you got to lose? You’re not in the marketplace for some guy who’s scared of a strong woman... so you can rise to yourself and become who you are meant to be, and you can be brave.”

Congratulations to the talented crafters in Sales and Crafts for highly successful seasonal sales in November

Colourful kanga flags waved, the Gettin' Higher choir sang, and a large crowd cheered the riders in and congratulated them on their astonishing achievement. This year's cyclists were bowled over by the level of support their ride generated. Thank you to family, friends, and neighbours throughout the Victoria and wider community for such a generous response to our pledge requests.
There were 31 cyclists on the 275 km tour from Campbell River to Victoria, and 6 on the 50 km tour in the Peninsula. This whole group of strong, resilient women rode in together to Centennial Square, led on the last leg by Mayor Helps. What an achievement!
