A team of Kiwi nurses working as part of the international Red Cross Ebola response team in Sierra Leone got to meet Helen Clark this week.
Pictured from left, Rosie Adnitt, Jenny Munro, Sahra Ahmed and Rolands Selis joined the former New Zealand Prime Minister, who is head of the
United Nations Development Programme, at an official UN reception in Sierra Leone. She toured Ebola-affected countries this week when she met community groups to stress the importance of community advocacy in stopping the outbreak.
Helen Clark heard the Kiwi nurses were in Sierra Leone and invited them to meet her on Tuesday.
The New Zealand Red Cross has sent 18 aid workers to Sierra Leone and Liberia since last August.
A spokeswoman said the nurses were internationally regarded for their capability in tough and demanding conditions.
