As to our motivation for doing these concerts, we, like you, have been moved by the dire situation created by HIV/AIDS in Africa and by the heroic struggle of African grandmothers to raise their grandchildren on their own.

The food crisis that is spreading in the world only makes these women's struggle worse. We thus support the work of the Stephen Lewis Foundation from which 90% of the funds raised go to grassroots projects particularly in sub-saharan Africa. This year we are also supporting the work of a Kingston physician, Dr. Karen Yeates who, likewise motivated, has co-founded the Prevention Through Empowerment project, an initiative in Tanzania which has created the Pamoja Tunaweza (Swahili for 'together we can') WOMEN'S CENTRE IN TANZANIA. She has just returned from Tanzania and can report 'from the ground'.
