May 4, 2019 "OFF THE WALL" ART SALE
was a great success!
Thank you to our sponsors, to the many donors who gave us their treasures, to Church Highland Baptist Church for a wonderful venue, to all those who attended, purchased, helped us promote this event and to the volunteer OMAS (and several of their family members) who supported this effort on behalf of the Stephen Lewis Foundation Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign.
We took in almost $10,000.00.

OMAS SISKONA* of KW is one of 240+ grandmothers groups in Canada and around the world partnering with their African sisters to "turn the tide" of the AIDS pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa. Since our launch in 2008, OMAS has raised over $625,178.79 for the Stephen Lewis Foundation which in turn partners with community-based organizations to provide care and support to women, orphaned children, grandmothers and people living with HIV and AIDS.

With about 130 members and many "friends', OMAS meet monthly to plan fundraising events, educate ourselves through invited speakers and DVD presentations, make presentations ourselves on SLF projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, speak to local community and church groups, and advocate for our African sisters. But mostly we enjoy a wonderful solidarity with each other and with our African sisters by working together and having FUN!!!
