Catherine Conteh has travelled all the way from Australia to the UK to help Keith Thomson, a retired doctor, recover from a major operation.
More than two decades ago, he helped Catherine, who was a pregnant teenager in need of an emergency Caesarean section, in Sierra Leone. He decided to pay for the required $89.00 fee, which was then equivalent to a year鈥檚 salary in the war-torn country. This gesture saved her life, and her baby's.
Catherine spoke to Newsday from Perth in western Australia, where she now lives.
