The management committee
members of AID Indonesia
have had involvement with the people of Indonesia for several years prior
to the tsunami & earthquake, but as a result of these two catastrophes, a
huge need has evolved & opportunity for greater assistance has arisen.
We consider that as Indonesia is one of Australia’s closest neighbours, we
have a responsibility to these people.
We currently care for
children on the island
of Sumatra providing
accommodation in our new facilities. At this point we have 10 children that
have been re-located from Nias Island as well as a further 10 children from
various other parts of Indonesia that have been orphaned, abandoned or due to
extreme poverty can no longer be cared for by their family.
All the children are
enjoying their new life which gives them all the opportunity for consistent
school, better nutrition and health and a loving family atmosphere to live in.
We are undertaking negotiations with government
departments and local hospitals to be able to continue to assist more children
in the nation of Indonesia
