2009br. Il 9 ottobre del 1996 centotrentanove ragazze, fra i 12 e i 15 anni, furono rapite dal Collegio St. Mary's di Aboke gestito dalle Suore Comboniane. Suor Rachele Fassera, la vice preside italiana, inseguì i rapitori. Riuscì a entrare in contatto con il Lord's Resistance Army, uno dei più crudeli gruppi di guerriglieri del mondo guidato da Joseph Kony, un fanatico religioso. La suora ottenne il rilascio della maggior parte delle ragazze, ma dovette lasciarne trenta al loro destino. Che cosa è accaduto a quelle ragazze? E che cosa è accaduto alle migliaia di fanciulli portati via dalle loro case? Perché Joseph Kony sta uccidendo la sua stessa gente in nome della sacra Bibbia? Il volume ricostruisce la storia di due delle ragazze sfuggite al Lra.

1904réf. 154021904. Gayaza School classroom lantern slide 1904 documents girls receiving classroom instruction at the pioneering Church Missionary Society school established at Gayaza in Buganda present-day Uganda. Founded in 1904 as a school for girls Gayaza developed into what is now Gayaza High School identified by the school as Uganda's oldest all-girls boarding secondary school. The image dates from the institution's founding period and records African girls engaged in reading under two female teachers providing unusually detailed visual evidence of girls' education within an early twentieth-century missionary school in Uganda. Original glass lantern slide 3¼ x 4 inches published by the Young People's Missionary Movement of the United States and Canada. Scratched into the negative beneath the image is the identification: "Gayaza A Class in School." Girls of varying school ages occupy the classroom; approximately half sit on the floor holding open books while others sit on a bench at a table with books before them. Two female teachers stand among the pupils. Classroom equipment includes a blackboard on an easel two wall maps a clock and a globe resting on a cabinet. The girls wear garments wrapped or draped around the lower body. These details record both instructional practice and the material furnishings available in the school's early classroom. The slide also documents how images of African mission schools circulated beyond Uganda. The Young People's Missionary Movement described lantern slides as its most extensively used form of pictorial material and supplied such images to mission boards for missionary education. This example therefore preserves two related historical records: the classroom at Gayaza and the presentation of girls' education in Uganda to North American Christian audiences. Gayaza subsequently developed into a secondary boarding school for girls retaining its Church foundation. unknown
