Our Relief Center/Posko Kita BANDA ACEH See www.posko.org for updates.
OUR RELIEF CENTER/POSKO KITA has been established in Banda Aceh by Indonesian NGOs including Aceh Kita, Perempuan Peka, Solidaritas Perempuan (Women's Solidarity), NADI under the Aceh NGO Forum (Forum LSM Aceh). They are coordinating closely with other relief efforts including those of IDEP, MSF, Walhi and Greenpeace. Posko Kita has helped set up a refuge, medical facility, soup kitchen and communications and volunteer coordination center. Their goal is to generate and oversee the smooth deployment of 500 volunteers.
Posko Kita is an all-volunteer network operating in Sumatra (Banda Aceh, Medan) and Jakarta with close links to extensive networks of community activists. In the last few days, over 150 volunteers have begun arriving in Banda Aceh. Their goal is to have a weekly total of 500 volunteers, from local communities in Sumatra, including fishing villages, as well as from other regions. They have also recruited doctors. Their volunteer teams have worked with the Aceh NGO Forum to map out the location and number of refugee camps, number of people occupying the camps and their needs. With time, their focus will increasingly fall on the specific needs of women and children who are often underserved in these circumstances.
Posko Kita activities:
- identification, training, coordination, allocation of volunteers
- focus on volunteers from Sumatra,including villagers and fishers,nurses, doctors; coordination of volunteers from Medan and Jakarta;
- obtaining and distribution of supplies: food, medical supplies, gloves, masks, body bags
