Providing Nutritional Food to Landslide Victims

The evacuation process following the Ponorogo landslide disaster has ended and many volunteers have returned to their homes. Now that things have calmed down, victims recall the incident that claimed several of their friends and family members.

Volunteers along with Aksi Cepat

Tanggap (Rapid Volunteer Team), otherwise known as ACT, have been moved to provide free food to the victims of the Ponorogo landslide. They have built an organization called Dapur Umum

(Common Kitchen) in partnership with Kitabisa.com.

Every day, the volunteer groups give out 450 rice boxes and 100 portions of other nutritional food to the victims.

On the first day after the evacuation process ended, Dapur Umum, Kitabisa and ACT gave out rice with ayam ricarica, lalapan, fried tempe and watermelon. On the second day, the teams gave out rice with fried fish, fried tempe, eggplant balado and bananas. On the third day, the teams gave out rice with beef rendang, tofu balado, fried eggs and oranges.

The victims seem happy to receive the food packages, but more aid is still required. Not only do the disaster victims need food, but they also need other forms of care and support from people across the country.

Currently, ACT has received around Rp.95 million (US$ 7,100) in donations, and will continue collecting donations until May 1, 2017.
