Dear Sponsors, Donors, Volunteers, and Friends of E3 Africa,
It is with great sadness that I share the news that our beloved Co-Founder, Rosalie Weller, passed away this morning, Monday, August 16th. She died peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her family. Rosalie was a powerful force for good in the world, working tirelessly to help the less fortunate.
Her commitment to the vulnerable children of Uganda earned their love and the title of "Mama Rosalie," a name after which our first girls' dormitory at our school, St. Thomas Aquinas College, is named.
In her last days, she reminded us that E3 Africa has been God's mission and that she and I are merely instruments, that He has guided and supported us from the beginning till now, and that we should always be grateful to God.
As of now and in the coming days, hundreds of young students in Uganda are raising their voices in prayer for a woman in Arizona who helped change their lives and whom they fondly refer to as Mama, Friend, Mentor, and Role Model. Let's join them and thank Our Lord for the gift of Rosalie Weller.
-Father Robert Aliunzi
Funeral arrangements are pending; we will post information on our website in the coming days: E3Africa.org
