The grandmothers need help financially to educate and clothe these chil- dren. The Stephen Lewis Project is aided by the Women's Institute. A discussion concerning the work of the Women's Institutes was conducted with input from Kerwood, Grand Bend and Warwick. Programming, community involvement and membership were the focal points. On June 21, 17 members of the Grand Bend Institute also went on a field trip to New Hamburg. The first stop was at Oak Grove Cheese Factory, followed by a stop in the downtown area for shopping and lunch. The next visit was a tour of 10,000 Villages, non-profit organization sponsored by the Mennonite Church. They sponsor crafts from 33 Third World nations.
