Cristiana Sposito hasn't added a story.
The 5th of August at 19:46 an earthquake magnitude 7.4 hit the island of Lombok and the Gili Islands.
My name is Cris and I have been living in this beautiful paradise for 5 years.
After that night we spent the first days trying to survive in this apocalyptic settings without running water or electricity or food. We made a camp on the beach into a place called K69, for as much schocking it could be we realized that we were doing fine and we could move on to help others.
We created a movement called Lombok Rescue Movement to go to give help on the main island of Lombok severely hit with more than 300 people dead and 70.000 displaced.
With the help of our leader Hardy, who is trained as rescuer for natural disasters, we came over to Lombok to visit different camps and support them with logistics.
2days ago we arrived at the first camp, Karang Nangka, which hosts
400 people.
Although you can perceive a sense of destruction,
people still smile, the children play.
We started a round of the
camps to make sure that, after they all have received supplies, they
can organize themselves to have a dignified and more comfortable
life.
We have cleaned up the fields from the trash and set up
some bins, tomorrow we will build a kitchen and storage area, and a
sanitary and first aid station and a space for children.
Plus a
parking area and electrical installations to ligh the night and We
organized an evacuation path.
We provided them with sanitizer and brief them how to keep themselves
safe from diseases.
We are helping them to organize themselves to
be a community as they will have to spend at least 3 months
here.
They still smile among a thousand walls razed to the
ground, they are strong.
In the next days we will go to find more
isolated camps in the mountains to provide baths and
equipment.
At the same time we are campaigning to buy more
resistant tents to provide mid term protection from any weather
conditions and privacy and safety of women and children.
I
apologize for not having had time to write first in detail but from
that day of the earthquake our reality is very hard and
surreal
All the money you donate will be dedicated to this, to
buy equipment to assist even more remote camps up into the mountains,
which are more isolated and they need tents and water. We strongly
want to make sure that they will have a nicer life in this tragic circumstances.
The reason why we are very committed is cause we ourselves lost our
houses and jobs and basically everything, so we know how it feels.
Most of us, a group of indonesian and international people, have been
living here for very long time. In most of the camps we find our
friends, we are very committed to help them in every way we
can.
Thank you very much to those who have already donate.
I
will post pictures on the FB page Lombok Rescue Movement or on my
personal page Cristiana Sposito.
Often we will not have
connection or battery.
So be patient.
I write you in a
starry night camped on the hill.
I still do not know how I got here.
But united we stand strong.
