Bicak and Ngunut residents take active role

Sari's report from 11 June 2006

Klinik Kerabat and SGN support the people of Bicak and Ngunut in the relief effort by involving local residents in every stage, this ensures the fair and equitable distribution of health services and supplies, so that families are not missing out.

Local residents and young people especially are enthusiastic, and have been working tirelessly on a daily basis distributing supplies to every household, as well as planning and organising many activities for the younger children.

By being involved the people of Bicak and Ngunut are taking responsibility to rebuild and revitalise their community, without relying heavily on SGN or Klinik Kerabat to organise the relief effort. Life must go on, and the community must play a leading role in its future.

In this way, we are acting as a conduit for those who wish to help to reach those affected by the earthquake.
