Rose Mapendo Named CNN Hero by Susan Sarandon
Rose Mapendo, a genocide survivor and co-founder of the refugee protection organization Mapendo International, has been acknowledged by actress and human rights advocate Susan Sarandon as a “CNN Hero”. Sarandon was deeply inspired, as I am, by Mapendo’s courage and strength in surviving sixteen months in a Congolese death camp before launching Mapendo International, with 2006 Echoing Green Fellow Sasha Chanoff.
