Jayne Kamau, Bella Jaboma and Dr Grace Kariuki had been travelling back home to Kenya after a meeting of The Society of Pediatric Oncology in Africa meeting held in Cairo, Egypt when their plane crashed just six minutes after take-off from Addis Ababa airport in Ethiopia. "Jayne was the center of the team in Kenya working with patients and their families. She could connect with anyone, be with anyone and make them feel respected and listened to," said Morgan Livingstone, a certified child life specialist and Director of Child Life at charity World Eye Cancer Hope and Jayne's mentor.
"In Africa, there isn't a lot of psychosocial support for children with cancer and their families and outcomes are pretty bad. Jayne was able to talk about everything with families including difficult topics like death and end of life care when needed," said Livingstone.
