Currently, there are approximately 45,000 homeless victims staying in the evacuation camp, and 6,000 of them are stationed in the Main Evacuation Camp, Posko Maguwoharjo. They lost their homes, properties, and most of them are still grieving for their loved ones. It’s time for us to stop talking about helping them and walk the talk instead!!
The items in the list below are basically what they need now. If you are willing to lend a hand, you can donate the stated items OR some money by clicking the link below or the link at the left side of my web page. Even a small contribution will make a big difference. You can make a difference.
List of items needed:
To provide warmth and comfort: Tikar (Mat), carpet, blanket
Toiletry: Soap, body shampoo, hair shampoo, tooth brush, tooth paste, towel
Cleaning: Cloths washing powder, brush, and dish washer liquid
Food: biscuit, mineral water
Special food: milk for baby more than 6 months all, elderly, pregnant mothers
Footwear: Sandals of all sizes
Cloths: Undergarments for male /female, bra of all sizes, clothes for children & baby
Education: School stationery for children
Special need: Elderly diapers
Religion: Praying head-scarf (kain sembayang) for muslim women
Besides providing what they need, we can also support them emotionally and mentally. Simple actions such as talking and comforting the elderly, playing and having fun with the kids mean a lot for them. If you have the time, why don’t you volunteer at the camp? As young doctor, let’s be active and creative, let’s share and care for the less fortunate ones. J
“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
