Sandra Uwiringiy'imana (or Uwiringiyimana as the media misspelled) is speaking at the Women in the World conference in New York City this Thursday. She is part of a three person panel which includes Madeleine Albright and Angelina Jolie. They are discussing the topic of "Women and War." The moderator is Charlie Rose, who is known for his interviews on the Charlie Rose Show on PBS and "CBS This Morning." Her panel kicks off the 3rd annual event, which includes women from around the globe sharing stories and ideas to empower women, support women, and learn from other women, many who are living in violent and impoverished areas of the world. Sandra was invited to speak about her experiences in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Gatumba. When I was talking with her the other day, she was very excited at the chance to meet Leymah Gbowee, a Nobel Laureate and founder of Gbowee Peace Foundation. She has also been invited to a full, taped interview with Charlie Rose on Monday after the conference. We are so proud of you Sandra and pray that you will have the right words to say that touch the attenders of this conference and move them into action.
