Haiti – Ericka Norman

The horrible tragedy in Haiti is affecting many of us.  I'm posting this for a friend who now lives in Singapore--her maid of honor works for the UN and is now missing:

  Hello All,

I wanted to contact you all to let you know that the horrible disaster in Haiti has touched Ericka Norman, someone verydear to me. Some of you may remember her as my maid-of-honor at my wedding.

Ericka works for the UN and was transferred from Kosovo to Haiti some years ago. Ericka worked at the UN headquarters in Port-au-Prince, the building that collapsed. We know that she was in the building the morning of the quake because I talked to her on the phone at about 10AM her time. It is unclear whether she left for a meeting at 4:30PM or remained in her office until the time the quake hit.

Her husband managed to contact to her family in Seattle and reported that he and their toddler are safe. However, Ericka is still missing. Communications is poor and there is a chance she is injured in one of the many medical centers.

We are all hoping for the best.

I will keep you all posted on any new information. I am posting a link to the iReport page set up by a friend of Ericka’s in the US.
