Title: Woven in spirals
Description: "In 1983, as a young teacher at Gayaza High School in Uganda, Diana was appointed as the Assistant Chaplain and her main duty was to mentor girls in their personal relationship with Christ. During her interactions with the girls, she learnt about the assault, rape and violation many of them suffered during the 1979 war that had ousted president Idi Amin. She was horrified by the brutality the girls endured and, overwhelmed by a deep desire for justice, Diana sought a way to help them. This yearning prompted her to enroll in a Theological College and what she thought would be a straight forward road to ordination turned out to be quite bumpy indeed. The journey to ordination that usually took the male clergy two years took Diana five long ones. In spite of all the pitfalls she faced, Diana eventually went on the become an ordained Priest in the Anglican Church of Uganda." --
