Cuando el terremoto de magnitud 7,5 sacudi\u00f3 Indonesia el 28 de septiembre, Asdar no estaba preparado. Acababa de volver del trabajo para almorzar en su casa de Petobo, un peque\u00f1o pueblo del norte, cuando se produjeron los primeros temblores.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were eating when the earthquake hit,\u201d he recalled. \u201cWe had no preparation for the disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n
Throughout his village, there was a horrible groan of shifting, grinding earth, and then Asdar\u2019s house began to crumble and sink into the ground. In the chaos, he was separated from his wife and daughter and flung by the shock waves onto the roof of his home.<\/p>\n
There, Asdar watched his entire village disappear into the churning soil. The process known as liquefaction, in which the earth devours everything in a quicksand sludge, was reducing Petobo to a mass grave.<\/p>\n
When the tremors subsided, Asdar was one of the few people remaining. Many of the 744 homes in Petobo were gone. He climbed down from the roof and discovered his wife and daughter among the ruins, both still alive but bruised and terrified.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe gathered again on the rubble after the earthquake subsided,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was traumatic. Only now has my daughter wanted to eat and to talk again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, ADRA was able to act immediately for those like Asdar, his daughter, and the rest of their family who were affected by the back-to-back disasters.<\/p>\n
ADRA set a goal to raise $200,000 for shelter kits and other urgently needed emergency resources, but you exceeded that goal. At last count, the total raised for Indonesia was close to $300,000 and still growing!<\/strong><\/p>\n ADRA\u2019s local team in Indonesia has provided shelter kits, which include tarps and tools, to almost 10,000 households whose homes were damaged or destroyed!<\/p>\n In addition, your support has provided resources for clean water and hygiene to several thousand more in their homes or in camps for displaced and affected families. You have also helped us provide emergency food to close to 4,000 families and are helping to support hundreds in their efforts to rebuild their livelihoods.<\/p>\n In major disasters like this, ADRA\u2019s work doesn\u2019t stop when the initial emergency response phase ends. Rebuilding lives and communities after a devastating natural disaster can take years, and our team in Indonesia is so grateful that your generosity will help strengthen the work they\u2019re doing today, as well as their plans well into the future.<\/p>\n Asdar is also looking toward the future. Though his village of Petobo is gone, and likely to be deemed by the government of Indonesia a mass grave and no longer inhabitable, he is hopeful.<\/p>\n \u201cOur hope is to have infrastructure and a proper place to live,\u201d he said. \u201cHere at the evacuation tent, we are only surviving.\u201d<\/p>\n Thanks to you, ADRA will be able to help with Asdar\u2019s hopes as they plan to continue much-needed food assistance and projects that support water, sanitation, and hygiene, as well as transitional shelter.<\/p>\n Thanks to you, ADRA will be able to help with Asdar\u2019s hopes as they plan to continue much-needed food assistance and projects that support water, sanitation, and hygiene, as well as transitional shelter.<\/p>\n Cuando el terremoto de magnitud 7,5 sacudi\u00f3 Indonesia el 28 de septiembre, Asdar no estaba preparado.
