  1. Sorry to hear the sad news of Kreeti Wadhawan's passing. May Almighty rest him in peace.
    Was a very close family friend when we served together in Addis Ababa. Was highly professional and a very helpful person. While he was loud any bubbly at every party - his wife Veena was just opposite always quiet & serene.
    We will miss a good friend and company.

    1. I met Keerti Wadahwan in Khartoum when he came to carry out a short consultancy assignment in South Sudan. He stayed with me for a few days before procceding to South Sudan and again after completing his assignment there. I found him a very jolly and caring person. Thereafter we became friends on Facebook and he always got in touch with me. I will definitely miss his beautiful and warm birthday messages/wishes. RIP my friend Keerti.

  2. I am very sad to hear. I knew Mr. Keerti first in Tajikistan and then we also met in Indonesia. He was always very kind and a sincere professional. In Indonesia, I had just arrived and faced with the torrential rain, I was bewildered what to do and he invited me to the apartment he shared with his wife while there as a consultant. May he rest in perfect peace.

  3. I am very sorry to hear that Keerti is no longer with us. He was a sincere professional and was loved by people he worked with in the field in Ethiopia. I first met him in Ethiopia in 2004 and subsequently in MENARO where he was a regional consultant for EPI. Both Keerti and his wife Veena became our close friends. Sheela and I spoke with Veena this morning. May he rest in peace. He will be very much missed.
