"I'd been through a period where I was more concerned with my own problems and pain.

"You meet people who don't even know where their parents are, or their children, and they haven't got enough food. And you wake up in a moment, you realise how fortunate you are that your concerns are nothing in comparison. You don't worry about yourself, you worry about other people and you just grow up. It helped me get out of my own head. And it's a happier life. To be of service to others creates a happier life," she said.
