FOR Linda and Roger Bullen, their trip to Namibia next month will be very much a bitter-sweet experience.
The couple will be travelling to the village of Otjimanangombe, in the country's remote eastern Omaheke province, to open a much-needed clinic for local people.
Their involvement in the health of a nation thousands of miles from their West Mersea home came as the result of the loss of their daughter, Catherine, a medical student who died from gastroenteritis on safari in Namibia in 2002.
Keen to do something in her memory, they started the Catherine Bullen Memorial Fund.
