Mountain climbers rescued by text message
Two British climbers were rescued yesterday after sending an
SOS text message to a friend in London.
Rachel Kelsey, 34, and her partner, Jeremy Colenso, 33, who are both experienced climbers, were on a climbing holiday last week in Switzerland. But on Saturday night, when they were 3,000 meters up in the mountains, there was a terrible storm. The wind was incredibly strong and the snow was two meters deep. They couldn’t move and they had to spend the night on the mountain. Rachel had her cell phone with her, so she sent a text message to fi ve friends in the UK asking for help.
About four hours later, one of her friends, Avery Cunliffe, in London, replied with a text message. Avery said, ‘I don’t usually have my cell phone in the bedroom. At about 4 a.m. I woke up and saw Rachel’s message. I found the number of the police in Switzerland and phoned them. They contacted the mountain rescue team.’
But the weather was so bad that the helicopter couldn’t get to the two climbers. The rescue team sent a text message to Rachel and Jeremy telling them that they had to spend a second night on the mountain. They thought they were going to die. It was freezing and really windy on the mountain. They spent the night talking and planning a holiday in the sun!
Next morning the storm passed and the helicopter arrived to take them off the mountain. Avery said that when she heard that Rachel and Jeremy were safe she was dancing around in her fl at. Rachel said that she and Jeremy were looking forward to a hot bath and a good meal. But fi rst they were going to buy the rescue team a bottle of wine!

Woman who rescued Nigerian ‘witch-child’ beats Obama and Pope Francis to top list of world’s most inspiring people
A woman who rescued a two-year-old boy who had been cast out by his own community for being a “witch-child” has been recognised in an international list of the most inspiring people of the year. Anja Ringgren Lovén, a Danish care worker who rescued the young Nigerian boy back in February 2016, beat the likes of Pope Francis, Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama to top the list of 100 inspiring individuals compiled by German-language OOOM Magazine.
An image of Ms Lovén giving the two-year-old boy (now called Hope) some water was shared around the world, and served to highlight the work she was doing to help orphan children in Nigeria. Witch accusations is a growing problem in many African countries, especially in Nigeria, where Anja’s charity African Children’s Aid Education and Development Foundation cares for other children like Hope.
“When she saw the starving child, she acted like a human being and became an inspiration for millions,” said Georg Kindel, OOOM’s editor-in-chief, who led the jury that chose the list. Speaking today about the experience, she said: “He was the size of a little baby, my whole body froze. I was thinking of my own son when I saw the boy. For me it was clear at that moment that I would fight with all my strength for him to survive.”
