Hi folks,

If you would like to join our What's App group for Black caregivers, please send your phone number to Esther our Community Engagement lead at: eguzha@sawubonaacs.org

Our team just heard of this new program at Geneva Centre and we wanted to share it with you. They are now offering respite coordination for families of children and youth with developmental disabilities in Toronto.

Greetings members of the Sawubona community, community partners, funders and friends!

We are pleased to share with you Sawubona Africentric Circle of Support's new Strategic Plan to help guide our path during the next leg of our journey in supporting Black caregivers who are living at the intersection of race and disability and as well working with organizations that can help make their journey more inclusive, welcoming, collaborative and effective for the loved one that they support. 

We want to express our thanks to many of you who provided input into this visionary plan through 1:1 sessions, focus groups and surveys. Your time is appreciated.

We look forward to the impact that Sawubona will continue to make in community and look forward to all of you continuing along this journey with us and bringing more families and friends into this community.

Take good care and have a great week ahead!
