I just stumbled across this story from the middle of 2008…

the news story:
Sydney aid worker Darren Stratti was trying to protect five women from robbers trying to get into their mud hut when a bullet fired through the brittle wall struck and killed him in Tanzania, his colleagues and brothers say.
Mr Stratti, 36, from the Australian non-profit organisation foodwatershelter, was shot dead on Monday at Kesho Leo, a village the charity was building in the east African nation.

the love story:
A week later I get a phone call and just this really sexy, calm, confident voice comes on the phone and that was Darren and he asked me out. We had this awesome night where he just asked me everything about myself and everything about Africa. He later told me that he fell in love twice that night. First with me, and then with the plan for Africa.
