ZAWU Canada Statement on Mothers day

Sunday May 13th 2012 - we join many countries across the world in celebration of Mothers Day. 
As members of ZAPU's Canada Province, we salute all the mothers, especially those who are less fortunate, and all the single mothers who often find themselves having to raise children under tough economic conditions. 
In our native country, Zimbabwe we can never forget the plight of millions of mothers who have to walk long distances in search for food and water for their children. 
In recent years we've seen very disturbing images of women carrying young babies across Zimbabwe's borders to search for better opportunities in foreign countries.  
We dedicate this day to all those mothers who continue to exhibit exemplary fortitude by doing all they can to find a decent environment to raise their children.
Finally, as members of ZAWU, the women's wing of the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU), we salute all the struggling mothers in our country and indeed around the world. We simply wish every mother a 'Happy Mothers Day!'
