In 2025, The Education team facilitated presentations at Dawson Heights Retirement Residence, and bead-making workshops at Lakehill and Cordova Bay Elementary Schools, creating awareness of African grandmothers (and beautiful paper bead necklaces) with dozens of Victoria seniors and students. As well we supported over a dozen presentations by two of our members who visited some of our partners in South Africa and Eswatini with the SLF in the spring.
