Shereen Hussain
Member of The Willows (2010–2021)
It is with deep sadness that our “Man on the Ground” in Sri Lanka, Shereen Hussain passed away peacefully on the 16th August 2021 of Covid complications. He had been unwell for a short while and sadly failed to respond to hospital treatment.
Shereen was an integral part of The Willows tours to Sri Lanka. He was our travel agent, our contact with schools, local tour manager and liaison when language with locals became a problem. He will be fondly remembered for his quick wit (some will say sarcasm) and his stories. Should any of our party want or need anything it would be Shereen who would arrange it. This included buying presents for wives and girlfriends at home!
Over the years Shereen has maintained contact with many of the lads and visited us in Christchurch twice with his wife Zahira. Each Willows tour member will hold special personal memories of their contact with Shereen. He will be sadly missed by family and his many friends from far and wide.
