I am grateful to YFC staff and members, Wildlifedirect staff and bloggers who sent words of encouragement to me following the attack. All your comments were very good. Some of them made me forget my predicament as people shared their ordeal in the hands of robbers, muggers etc. Please allow me to quote one here that made me laugh. It came from Theresa “… I was mugged in Spain on holiday, only 23 at the time. Just minding my own business and in a flash I was out of $800 and my passport. I was even foolish enough to give chase!”I imagined myself giving a chase to the six armed robbers!! That would have been suicidal although the scene would have been comical. That made me laugh at a time when I was so gloomy.

Although all comments really touched me, I can forget Minna words; “I’m so sorry for that injustice and sheer terror you have just gone through! And hope the robbers will soon be caught and punished! You are so brave working in such difficult and dangerous circumstances, and I wish you all the strength to get past this horrendous experience! With love from the other side of the world”

Thanks Paula, Joy, Sheryl, Steve, Dana, David Ogiga, William, Dino, Morgan, Phoebe, .. and all of you good people out thee who shared words of encouragement when I was down. You’re are true friends indeed.

Asante sana

Iregi Mwenja

Mwenja, we both had a silver lining to our ordeals. The next day, after I was mugged, two British tourists found my passport in the alley the thieves ran down, along with my hotel key. They went to my hotel and returned my passport, talk about guardian angels! In your case, we have all been touched by the bloggers and others, who have reached out to you, offering such support. Good will prevail!

Theresa,
I also got my ID and ATM two days later. How they returned them into my car is still a mystery to me. This took away half the stress!
