Nella mia lista di “donne di coraggio”
Giovedì 18 marzo 2021
«Nella mia lista di “donne di coraggio” ci sono tante mie consorelle e donne che difendono la vita, che hanno un’esistenza più donata e generosa della mia. Sento vero il principio africano di ubuntu: “io sono perché noi siamo”. Questo premio non è qualcosa di personale, lo abbiamo tessuto insieme. Io sono un ponte, per riceverlo e passarlo alle altre». Lo dice con umiltà e anche con un po’ d’imbarazzo Alicia Vacas Moro (nella foto), suora missionaria comboniana che l’8 marzo 2021 ha ricevuto il “Premio internazionale Donne di Coraggio”.
