The High Commissioner Home » Tales from the field » The High Commissioner Posted on 13 June, 2013 This post is by Michael Were, Manager of OHI. Today we were privileged to have a visit from the Australian High Commissioner to Tonga, Mr. Thomas Roth. Mr. Roth visited the hospital and met with the team, and generously supplied morning tea for everyone. He then visited some of the patients on the ward to find out a little more about the work that Open Heart International is doing in Tonga. It was great to have him take some time from his schedule to come and see the work and how much it means to the Tongan people. Tags: Tonga,
