Stephen Lewis endorses Little Travellers

April 10, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Stephen Lewis, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Stephen Lewis Foundation and former UN Special Envoy to HIV/AIDS in Africa, has enthusiastically embraced the Little Travellers.  He wrote the following:

“The Little Travellers HIV/AIDS project is totally inspired. I endorse it every stitch of the way. It raises consciousness in Canada and hope in Africa. In my minds eye, I can just see the women of Hillcrest (a project the Stephen Lewis Foundation strongly supports) beading, and spectacularly artful “Little Travellers” emerging. Then the sales are made in Canada, and money flows to the heroic women and children and families battling the pandemic on the ground. What could be a better act of human solidarity? Buy one, buy two, buy dozens. They speak to the best of the human spirit.”

We are deeply moved and delighted to receive such high praise from someone we respect and admire so much. Throughout his distinguished career, Mr. Lewis has passionately and tirelessly advocated for the world’s most vulnerable people, and especially the women of AIDS-ravaged Africa.  We are extremely proud to have his support and to stand alongside him in the battle against HIV/AIDS in Africa.
