Klinik Kerabat and SGN - News (3 - 4 June 2006)
For 2 days we have been busy preparing a place for a public kitchen and where children can gather. My family has hired people from Sragen (a city about 60km to the East) to clear demolished buildings and level some land which will become a public space where children can learn and play, mothers can cook, and people can meet to plan. Last Thursday colleagues from Yayasan Prakarsa (Foundation for Initiatives) in Klaten offered to help with our program for children. Hopefully we can soon begin some long-term programs to help the people in the hamlets of Bicak and Ngunut, which are like "suburbs" in the village of Brangkal.
This morning, the Subur Gemi Nastiti (SGN) team will assist the villages of Brangkal and Kragilan. Four cars provided by the Mitsubishi Club, Jakarta, have asked to help, while friends who arrived last night from Bali will manage the public kitchen and coordinate work in the villages of Bicak and Brangkal. I myself will guide 2 carloads of friends to work in the village of Kragilan, while another 2 cars will go to Bicak in Brangkal.
We will distribute food supplies, clothing and tarpaulins. Another friend will join tonight with a tent and lamps. Lighting is urgently needed to prevent theft. People are asking for tents and keroscene lamps and also torches to enable them to patrol their villages to help safeguard their remaining belongings.
On Sunday (4 June) friends will arrive from Bandung, West Java to help for 2 days. They will help me to set up a public kitchen in the villages of Bicak and Brangkal. On Monday 2 doctors from Kupang (Timor) will arrive and have asked us to facilitate their disaster relief work. Klinik Kerabat and SGN will ask them to assist in the hilly district of South Klaten where there has been little aid.
I want to thank you all for the assistance you have given us. I paricularly want to thank those people in Armidale, Toowoomba and Melbourne who have given donations. Every donation is significant for the people suffering.
