Joanne Yirrell is a teacher from Bedfordshire in the south of England. Her son Harry died of malaria eight years ago, after a trip to work as a volunteer in Ghana. Joanne now works to eradicate malaria - and a film inspired by her story and starring the Hollywood actress Hilary Swank has been made. Albina du Boisrouvray was working as a journalist and film producer when her son Francois-Xavier Bagnoud died in a helicopter crash in 1986. She comes from a wealthy background and decided to auction off a large chunk of her assets. With the money she raised she started FXB International, a charity that today is active in many countries around the world, particularly working to help children affected by AIDS/HIV. Also in the programme, Lieutenant Commander Abhilash Tomy tells us about his solo,  non-stop voyage around the world. And Omara "Bombino" Moctar, the Touareg guitarist.</description><itunes:subtitle>Two women who've been through the shattering experience of losing a son.
