Sunday, May 4th… “A Grandmother’s Tribe” was presented as one of three documentary films at a fundraiser in Toronto. The event, to benefit the Stephen Lewis Foundation, was part of the Silver Screens Film Festival which celebrates creative living and aging. Featured on the film panel was Ilana Landsberg-Lewis, Executive Director SLF, who spoke eloquently about the foundation’s commitment to supporting grassroots, community-based organizations throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The foundation was responsible for the first Grandmother Gathering in Toronto in August, 2006. It continues to support grandmother families in Africa with funds raised by more than 200 grandmother groups in Canada.
