My mum died as I prepared to take her to hospital

Olive Burrows' story

By  Amina Wako

  • Burrows managed to get a St Johns Ambulance, but when the crew arrived and checked her mother’s pulse, “I could see and I could tell she was gone”.

But then US President Barack Obama came visiting and Burrows had the rare opportunity to interview him.
