Slamet's Family Home

Slamet and his family built this temporary dwelling soon after they found themselves homeless.

While, immediately following the earthquake the focus was on providing emergency relief, like medicines, food, water, tarpaulins and tents. Things are progressing now and we are moving to more durable materials. People are working hard cleaning and collecting roof tiles and bricks that are undamaged and can be reused.



Slowly, things are being restored and rebuilt. The photo below, shows Slamet's house now, with the "gedeg" walls. Slamet was able to salvage many of the roof tiles from his old house. He's built his new house next to the rubble of the old one. Though there's still a lot of work to do to clean up the site.
