----------
An Evening with Stephen Lewis!
Stephen Lewis, Chair of the Stephen Lewis Foundation,will be in Calgary on Thursday, May 24th, 2007 at Knox United Church. Along with Stephen Lewis will be a special musical guest David Thiaw.
The Stephen Lewis Foundation funds community-based initiatives in Africa. The funding raised by the foundation works in four areas:
- to provide care at the community level to women who are ill and struggling to survive, so that their lives can be free from pain, humiliation and indignity;
- to assist orphans and other AIDS-affected children in every possible way, from the payment of school fees to the provision of food;
- to support the unrecognized heroes of Africa, the grandmothers, who bury their own children and care for their orphan grandchildren;
- to support associations of people living with HIV/AIDS - courageous men and women who have openly declared their status - so that they can educate themselves and share information with their broader communities on prevention, treatment, care and the elimination of stigma.
