The Power of One

Betty Bigombe with Rebel Leader Sam Kolo on right and LRA leader in Palabek.


I'm astounded at the influence one person can have on peace.
Or conflict.
Uganda is filled with individual personalities moving its history to and fro:
Yoweri Museveni, Joseph Kony...and Betty Bigombe.

I had seen her name mentioned a few times, but after Chris H. at the UN mentioned her as someone I should contact, I decided to read an article about her work and efforts to promote peace in Uganda.

Read it for yourself. Quite amazing.

We'll see if I can actually get to meet her...
