Cry for Indonesia Team Report

What I was witness of during my stay for 7 days in Aceh cannot  be expressed by a short sentence through this mail.

The only word that came into my mind was:"TERRIBLE!!!"The destruction included physical damage of the city: buildings, drifted lives, people who succeeded in saving their life but almost completely suffered from wounds or diseases and in a poor mental state.
The last development is now epidemic diseases:cholera, skins illness, typhus and respiratory tract infections.

Our priority was to bring the medical team into:
1. Treating the patients/the casualties.
2. Give food and clothes
3. Help the casualties to get what is needed to be back to a "normal" life.

All I've carried out during the first visit (03-01-05 until 10-01-05 ) was to monitor the medical distribution for those who needed it.
But all of that  was  just only the beginning of a very  minor help for a disaster that is so HORRIFYING!!!!!

Further, medical help and food are the most required help that is very urgent  to the casualties and trough our "Cry for Indonesia".

The team will contribute continuously with medicines and food.
In helping casualties of the TSUNAMI disaster in Aceh, "Cry for Indonesia" program also  supported by the local mass media  like the Medan Bisnis newspaper (www.medanbisnisonline.com) this was very beneficial for updating the development   that could be monitored by us in our gaps of  activity.
