Subject: An Invitation to the Tribunal Film
Hello,
Please see the invite below to a film screening in Vancouver.
The film features the courageous African grandmothers who gave powerful and emotional testimonies at the African Grandmothers Tribunal in Vancouver, BC in 2013. This moving new documentary shines a light on the urgent need to provide better protection for the human rights of African grandmothers who, after watching their adult children die of AIDS, have become the primary caregivers for millions of orphaned grandchildren. Special Invitation Saturday, November 22nd
Join us afterwards for an engaging Q&A with Ilana Landsberg-Lewis (SLF Executive Director & Co-Founder) and Justine Ojambo (National Director, Phoebe Education Fund for Orphans, Uganda). Before the film screening, shop in the Artisan Marketplace (10 am–4 pm) at UBC Robson Square. The Greater Van Gogos will be selling handcrafted items from Canada and Africa, including tote bags, jewellery, and children’s gifts. Proceeds support the SLF’s grassroots partners who are turning the tide of AIDS in Africa. To receive your complimentary tickets and reserved seating, please RSVP as soon as possible — tickets are limited. RSVP to Sarah Layton at rsvp@stephenlewisfoundation.org or call 1-888-203-9990 ext 308.
