One of my colleagues spent day after day night after night trying to find his wife in a University that collapsed. He had hope even after 2 weeks because of hearing sounds of trapped people who had access to food and water because they were in cafeteria. Finally, he gave up hope. Until two days ago when he was contacted by people from Cote d’Ivoire. He was informed that she along with 66 other Haitians were rescued and flown to Cote d’Ivoire for emergency care and that she is injured and has undergone several operations but that she is alive. Yesterday, he received her picture confirming that it is in fact her and that she’s alive!
