The feared rebel group, the Lord’s Resistance Army, started to terrorise the north of Uganda in the 1980s. Many children, girls as well as boys, were abducted and forced to become child soldiers. In many cases, the LRA forced them to commit atrocities, leaving them deeply traumatised. Many of the girls also bore the children of rebel leaders.

As they started to return home, these children were often rejected by their families and communities, says Sr Rosemary. So she set about giving them a future and a hope: through enabling them to acquire skills like sewing, and by helping them see that God had not rejected them for the atrocities they had been forced to commit.

More than once, Sr Rosemary put herself in enormous danger in order to fulfil her mission. But, she says, she also learnt that small acts of kindness can touch the hearts of even battle-hardened rebels. ]]> Education Fri, 30 Oct 2026 03:30:00 +0200 0 0 The right thing: Uganda’s fearless nun 0 0 BBC full 32:00 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1733802 https://iono.fm/e/1733802 Education Thu, 29 Oct 2026 03:30:00 +0200 0 0 Good Bad Billionaire: Gautam Adani 0 0 BBC full 50:27 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1733359 https://iono.fm/e/1733359 Education Wed, 28 Oct 2026 03:30:00 +0200 0 0 Digging deep to help farmers 0 0 BBC full 28:37 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1732937 https://iono.fm/e/1732937 First broadcast 2nd July 2024 ]]> Education Tue, 27 Oct 2026 03:30:00 +0200 0 0 Loving, living and dying together in the Netherlands 0 0 BBC full 59:02 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1732474 https://iono.fm/e/1732474 Education Mon, 26 Oct 2026 03:30:00 +0200 0 0 If China's exports are booming, why are consumers struggling? 0 0 BBC full 25:00 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1732378 https://iono.fm/e/1732378 Education Sun, 25 Oct 2026 03:30:00 +0200 0 0 Germany's rust belt revival 0 0 BBC full 54:33 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1732354 https://iono.fm/e/1732354 Education Sat, 24 Oct 2026 02:30:00 +0200 0 0 Living with dementia 0 0 BBC full 27:17 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1731870 https://iono.fm/e/1731870 Education Fri, 23 Oct 2026 02:30:00 +0200 0 0 The right thing: Gaza's parish priest 0 0 BBC full 31:36 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1731738 https://iono.fm/e/1731738 Education Thu, 22 Oct 2026 14:30:00 +0200 0 0 Navi Pillay 0 0 BBC full 24:37 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1731739 https://iono.fm/e/1731739 Education Thu, 22 Oct 2026 02:30:00 +0200 0 0 The silence of the oligarchs 0 0 BBC full 30:33 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1730909 https://iono.fm/e/1730909 Education Wed, 21 Oct 2026 02:30:00 +0200 0 0 The dolphin whisperer of the Amazon 0 0 BBC full 28:00 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1730388 https://iono.fm/e/1730388 Education Tue, 20 Oct 2026 02:30:00 +0200 0 0 China and the UK: After the golden era 0 0 BBC full 30:29 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1730231 https://iono.fm/e/1730231 Education Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:00:00 +0200 0 0 What China's solar panel obsession means for the world 0 0 BBC full 21:46 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1729889 https://iono.fm/e/1729889

To irrigate these crops, farmers have had to rely on licensed and unlicensed wells tapping into the groundwater. Years of drought has meant that underground reserves cannot be renewed, making current farming practices unsustainable. The increased formation of sinkholes is not a surprise for experts who have been warning for years that extracting groundwater could tip the balance of nature. These sinkholes have luckily not caused any deaths but they are revealing that time is running out to save water and agriculture in this region. ]]> Education Thu, 10 Sep 2026 02:30:00 +0200 0 0 Turkey's growing sinkhole problem 0 0 BBC full 30:00 Documentaries https://iono.fm/e/1715799 https://iono.fm/e/1715799 Education Wed, 09 Sep 2026 02:30:00 +0200 0 0 The pictures that help and heal 0 0 BBC full 26:30 Documentaries
