So that’s what she did. In this edition of his occasional series, The Right Thing, Mike Wooldridge hears Sr Rosemary’s astonishing story.
The feared rebel group, the Lord’s Resistance Army, started to terrorize the north of Uganda in the 1980s. Many children, girls as well as boys, were abducted and forced to become child soldiers.
