'I have had the pleasure of working with William twice in 2005, first on a concert I organised at the Royal Albert Hall to raise desperately needed funds for refugees in Darfur, Sudan, and most recently in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka, as part of the international emergency relief operation following December's ‘05 tsunami. I was then working for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) as Head of Office in Batticaloa, perhaps the worst affected part of Sri Lanka. When I arrived in Sri Lanka it fast became apparent that most of the aid workers were not only traumatised but also physically and emotionally exhausted, and yet there was no time or way of properly re-charging the batteries. William, having  provided massage treatment to some of the stars at the "Refugee  Voices for Darfur Concert", jumped at the opportunity to spend four  months in Sri Lanka independently providing a variety of treatments  to an unusual group of people... aid workers. 

During his time in Sri Lanka, I can honestly say that Mr. Ogboke raised the general quality of life for those aid workers amongst his clients. Staff from the United Nations, the Sri Lankan Monitoring Mission (SLMM) and several prominent charities including World Vision, Oxfam, ACF and CARE became regular clients and have all told me what a difference William's arrival made. Not only had William single-handedly set-up and run a successful business in Sri Lanka but he also took time, under my supervision, to assist UNHCR return tsunami survivors to their homes. It was at this time I saw, first hand, his "bed-side" manner. His presence and contact with these extremely down-trodden people was impressive to me but more importantly, reassuring to everyone who was striving to assist.  This very positive trait will of course be applicable no-matter what he does'
