Caboose

Got an email from the VSO programme office on Thursday, to tell us that one of the VSO drivers, Tadjudeen, had been killed in a car accident. I didn’t know him but he certainly seems to have been well liked by both programme staff and volunteers. He leaves a wife and five children.

There was some good news in the email. Kayode, one of the programme managers, was also in the car but escaped with cracked ribs and bruising.

People at home worry about illnesses, coups and other dramatic problems but travelling on the roads is the most dangerous thing we do here.
