Zomi Frankcom’s family have described her as “smart, brimming with fun and always the life of the party” after the Australian aid worker was killed earlier this week in Gaza.
Zomi’s mum, Rini, was from a small city in north-eastern India called Aizawl in Mizoram. Her dad, Paul, met her mum while he was travelling.
She suffered a terrible loss when her mother died from breast cancer in 2001. She was always particularly close to her beloved brother Mal and her grandmother, Bippi. She wasn’t just smart. She was brimming with fun, always the life of the party with her ability to make everyone around her laugh. She loved dress-up parties and always entered into the theme with great enthusiasm. She had the biggest smile and a very distinctive, loud laugh that was enormously infectious.Zomi was not just a livewire. She was immensely serious about politics and humanity. She was passionate about justice and equality for all people and loved a philosophical debate.
2018 was the year she moved to Guatemala and began as the year she dubbed, her year of “stopping giving so many shits”. Ironically, this was also the year when she found her calling as she commenced her volunteer work with World Central Kitchen following the Volcán de Fuego eruption. This later evolved into her brilliant career with the organisation. To her, there was no other organisation like World Central Kitchen. She was so passionate about it.
