"Happy" New Year's??

Well looking at the title..u can't really say that for Indonesia... With all the natural disasters happening in the East and Western parts of the country, and the slow pace that the government is doing to help the people in Aceh.

A lot of people are raising charity for our brothers and sisters in Aceh, but the food, clothes and other stuff for them can't reach them. There was an area where they shared one portion of lunch for six people. They don't have any food to eat and clean water to drink. Most of the basic commodity that were contributed to the charity were "stuck" in the Polonia Airport, Medan, North Sumatra Province. The North Sumatra Province is just south of Aceh, some parts of it was also influenced by the tsunami, especially the small Nias Island.

Airplanes couldn't land in the Banda Aceh province 'til yesterday.. It was a rough landing because the land was cracked because of the earthquake that happened before.

They also need volunteers there to help give out the commodity to the people of Aceh, to help bury the corpses, to help clean up the place, etc. I wanna be a volunteer but I can't stand being near a corpse, while the situation over there makes you see corpses everywhere, all along the street.. I hope that the government takes control over this disaster soon, by mobilizing some of the Indonesian soldiers there and exert all the power that the government has to help the people there.

This disaster may mean Indonesia should unite. We should all be firmly united in facing this struggle in going against this disaster, despite our ethnic group, race, and religion background. We should all pray to God The Almighty to protect us from more severe disasters.

This disaster may also mean a warning from God, that if He says it will happen then it will without any human who can stop it. Oh yeah, my friend Ika is ok but some of her relatives (uncle, aunt, cousin) passed away or weren't found yet. I still feel like crying...
