Grandmothers Rocking Solidarity Not Charity Part 2 - the next installment on the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign - this time with Grandmothers who have started groups more recently in the United States, Australia and Canada! This episode has a special introduction, with the African Grandmothers' Call to Action from the Peoples' Tribunal on African Grandmothers' Rights in the midst of the AIDS pandemic. Always so inspiring to hear from Grandmothers involved in the Campaign that inspired this Podcast! Hi, I’m Ilana Landsberg-Lewis, your host of "Grandmothers On The Move", the podcast that kicks old stereotypes to the curb! Come meet these creative, outrageous, authentic, adventurous, irreverent and powerful Disrupters and Influencers.

Welcome to Grandmothers on the Move! I’m your host, Ilana Landsberg-Lewis, and today's topic is particularly close to my heart. I am thrilled to introduce you to the remarkable Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. In this episode we hear from 3 grandmothers in Canada who are part of a growing global movement of Grandmothers - over 10,000 of them - working to support strong, determined African grandmothers who are raising millions of grandchildren orphaned by AIDS. My involvement in this Grandmother-driven work is what inspired me to launch this podcast!

The Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF) launched the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign in March 2006, in response to the emerging crisis faced by African grandmothers as they struggled to care for millions of children orphaned by AIDS. The Campaign aims to raise awareness, build solidarity and mobilize financial support in Canada for Africa's grandmothers. The Campaign has since evolved into a dynamic and responsive national movement, and currently boasts more than 240 grandmothers groups across Canada. Many of the groups have organized into regional networks in order to support each other's development and fundraising. We now know – and the evidence is clearer than ever – that the fastest and most effective way to collaborate effectively is through working with small, committed community-based organizations as they are the frontline experts, but can we turn the tide against AIDS in Africa soon? The speaker will discuss the challenges the African Grandmothers are up against and how with your support, they are actively advocating for their rights. Speaker: Louise Breadner Louise Breadner was raised in Saskatchewan, where she studied nursing and had a 30 year career in corporate health, safety and environmental programming. Louise first travelled to Africa in 1999 because of a lifelong dream of going on a safari. She has since been back to Africa four times with humanitarian projects in Uganda. Louise joined the Stephen Lewis Foundation Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign in 2007 as she was attracted by the Foundation's focus on supporting grassroots projects in sub-Saharan Africa. Louise currently resides in Calgary and is the liaison for nine Grandmothers groups in Southern Alberta.
