Just came across this news bulletin on the web. My heart is sad, at this tragedy, and also proud that these wonderful people were making such a difference.
Three nurses have died in a road accident in Mozambique after donating a week of their holiday to care for sick children in the impoverished country.
Helen Golder, 33, a nurse at the Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Trust in London, and Liz Callan, 31, from Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, both died at the scene of the accident on Saturday outside the Mozambique capital Maputo.
A third nurse, 32-year-old Susan Andrews, of Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, lost her fight for life on Tuesday after being flown to Johannesburg, South Africa, for treatment.
The women had just completed a week working for free providing intensive care for sick children in Maputo, on a mission led by heart surgeon Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub. They were on their way for a day trip to the Kruger National Park in South Africa when their bus was involved in an accident.
‘The righteous, though they die early, will be at rest…There was one who pleased God and was loved by Him…for I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me to drink, sick and you comforted me…..’ May they rest in the peace of God, and may their families be comforted.
