"When I see my grandchildren on special days, I just melt. I am so happy. My world is so happy the day they come to see me. I wish every woman the joy of being a mother, grandmother and great grandmother." Lena, Macedonian Women's Group





"Watching them grow, their smile can make me feel better when I'm down." Mother from the Indigenous Parents Playgroup

"My picture is about mother nature... being a grandmother is something natural. It comes from inside, being with young children and sharing their love. To share the laughter, the love with grandchildren is deep happiness inside." Zora, Macedonian Women's Group

"When I was a kid I loved butterflies. 1969 was the year I was born. I like feathers and I like the hippy years - all colourful. It represents happiness and the clown in me". Sonia, Horizons Women's Group
