In Haiti. There’s hope amid the heartbreak: signs of revival. Met UN officials striving to rebuild. Old friends in charge. Mourned lost ones

With Indian UN staff incl 1 frm Tvm. UN Indians stuck together in aftermath of shock. Great spirit. Tried 2attach pic but not going through

Indian blood saved Haitian lives. 1day before quake 50 Indian peacekeepers (CISF) donated blood to Haitian Red Cross. Proved indispensable

Just stood amidst the rubble of the UN HQ.Laid a wreath 4those lost.At Luis daCosta’s widow’s rqst, prayed for thier souls &those left bhind

Very hard to see the wreckage and think of those who had worked, laughed, felt &planned there. How fragile life is. Many left behind so much

But there’s hope &strength here. Lives resuming.Glimpses of beauty amid devastation in Port-au-Prince. Bougainvillea blooming thru the ruins

Moving gathering of Indian peacekprs &community mbrs. All safe bar 1, IT engnr Satnam Singh. Anxious to reassure ppl back home they are OK.

Many Indians running small businesses in Haiti hv lost everything. Indians nuns of Missionaries of Charity spoke movingly of plight of poor

Indian contingent doctors treated 500 patients aftr quake for trauma injuries.Our police hv been heroic.Will recommend unit for commendation

Gd mtg w Pres Preval to convey the condolences &solidarity of the people &Govt of India. In addn to immed relief provided,will help longterm

Grt conversation w CNN’s Sanjay Gupta. Real hero. There’s no one like him: not just media celeb but a man of action who sets a rare example
