From Susana Ferreira in Haiti, where International Rescue Committee caseworkers have been helping family members separated by the January 2010 earthquake find each other:
"Wilio Jean thought he would never see his son again. Four-Eight-year-old Wilji was taken in by neighbors after his mother died in January’s earthquake, and Wilio spent months searching for them. He had finally accepted that they might both be dead when IRC caseworkers tracked him down, surprising him with news that his boy was alive. Wilio and Wilji were reunited in August."
