The good samaritan

My cousin Katharine Willmett has been in a spot of bother in Uganda. Despite being an old Africa hand she was mugged in Kampala, losing all funds and passport. Following this disaster she contracted malaria and was in the hospital unconscious, unable to pay for her treatment. The British and Australian Embassies offered no help at all - the British Embassy saying she would have to travel to England to obtain a new passport when she has been resident in Australia these many years. She was finally rescued by Don Campbell of the Canadian Embassy, a thirty-year veteran in East Africa, to whom we are all grateful. We wish Katharine a safe trip home to Hervey Bay, Queensland.
