Hello GRAN Advocates,
GRAN has been invited to present at a Photo Gallery Walk on Parliament Hill on the theme of education during International Development Week. We will be using the attached photo of GRANs in Uganda in 2018 as our submission. The purpose of the event is to highlight the work being done by Canadian NGO’s to raise the profile of education in development, and to show what Canadian NGO’s are doing in the field. The intended audience for this exhibit is Members of Parliament. As MP’s are very busy, we need to encourage them to take the time to drop by to view this presentation.
Please help us by personally inviting your MP to attend the Photo Gallery Walk. Please call your MP with the message below. You can find your MP’s phone number by clicking here.
