Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe – Sewing Hope in Uganda

MON, MAR 14. 2016, 7:30 PM – Capitol Theater

For 25 years, Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army terrorized Northern Uganda. Children were stolen from their families and brainwashed to be soldiers. Girls were degraded to sex slaves for Kony’s officers. The gunfire has ceased, but one battle remains…the battle to restore the future of the children of Uganda. This is the story of one woman’s fight to bring hope back to her nation. Armed with only a sewing machine, Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe openly defied Joseph Kony. Through her vocational school in Gulu, Uganda, she uses practical skills to restore dignity, independence, and hope to over 2,000 formerly abducted women.
