NOTE: RIP FRIDA KEMILEMBE BAGONZA
Our celebratory mood was struck down with the passing of Frida Bagonza, the wife of Dr. Benson Bagonza, Bishop of the ELCT/Karagwe Diocese. Bishop and Frida have been part of the ETI story since its inception and in fact, Dr. Bagonza was the originator for KARUCO and ROCs. Frida had just completed her Masters at St. Mary's in Minnesota and was diagnosed with cancer. It was agressive and took her life three months later. She was a loving wife and mother and a friend to many. She was brilliant and a strong example of what a woman can do when given access to the tool of education. God bless your soul, Frida Kemilembe Bagonza.
