Sr. Rose Muyinza

Yesterday morning, we lost a legend, a mother of all, a "sister act", the woman who worked tirelessly to make something of us, Sr. Rose Muyinza. She has been looking after orphaned and vulnerable children since 1971, when she founded Daughters of Charity. She started catering and decorating services, and a music, dance & drama group to raise school fees and other needs for us. She brought out the best in us, be it fashion, academics, dance, etc. She was 100% unconventional is a society that is so traditional. She always kept her vail on, a neatly pressed blue dress, and a nice pair of SAS shoes. She knew everything about everything - fashion, dance, constume design, music composition, cooking, pyschology, humor, etiquette, religion, faith, hope, evrything...! She has was the neatest eater I have encountered - with her British style - fork in the left and knife in the right. She was the most selfless person I know. She had a way with children that even now, you can tell who passed through Sr. Rose's care. I would not be who I am today if she had not taken me in. She brought out the best in me - she took a shy, timid, skinny chil, made her a leader, gave her the best she could, and let her fly. I am grateful for her. May her soul rest in peace!
