We’ve just had meeting with my engineering and staffs dealing with the new plan for the housing reconstruction. Well actually, it’s by accident that I made a quick decision to just start the housing reconstruction plan.
It came to happen when we went to Teluk Dalam yesterday, I stopped by at BRR (Indonesian Agencies for Recovery and Reconstruction Board) for sending the pictures of the school to TdH using their hot spot access. The internet access is free by the way and it’s specially set up for NGOs and other humanitarian agencies.
But then I found the head village of Hiliamaetaniha and two guys who introduced themselves from Hiliganöwö talking to BRR staffs about the lateness of LPAM, my NGO, to build the houses and they thought that we don’t keep our promise to build the houses. I was precisely there and spontaneously I just involved in their meeting.
Well, I was little bit upset as they didn’t talk to me first and just directly went to BRR and reported that way. But yes, I can understand their feeling as well. Other houses were just started to be build while we who promised them previously can’t start yet. Then of course I explain what’s going on with our plan. First, we are very busy for completing the reconstruction of the 5 schools we are handling now. Secondly, we agreed that we are lack of communication especially with the head of the village of Hiliamaetaniha as I was away for a while (I was in Honolulu). Except for Hiliganöwö, I keep communicating with the head of the village. So with Hiliganöwö actually no problem of the lateness at all and they can understand what we are still busy for our school program. But then as the follow up of the meeting we agreed that we need to set up a meeting along with the BRR, the head of the village and the affected people whose house will be built.
This current meeting has just decided the schedule for the village meetings; on Saturday 4 p.m in the village of Hiliamaetaniha, on Sunday at 5 p.m in the village of Hiliganowo and on Monday in the Sub District of Lahusa gathering three villages of Bawölato, Bawöfarono and Bawöotalua.
We have figured out the implementing strategy as well; re-scheduling, mapping, and deciding the base camp and warehouses and things like that. I need to talk very intense about the site plan and the budget with my engineering tomorrow. Anyway, we are still finding solution about the handy talky.

The sea that always brings peace
A Family Depends their income from collecting the stones
One of the areas that threatened by the activity
Reconstruction and the Threat of the Environment
At the moment there are massive reconstructions are being done. Well, it’s a positive sign for helping the people as a part of disaster recovery. Somehow, there is a sacrifice for that. Environment. For the wood, this problem has been solved by importing the wood outside of this island so there is no need to cut the huge number of trees. But for sand and stones are dilemma. As a huge amount of sand from the river and beach and stones as well, people take it from the rivers without any consideration of threatens the environment itself. For the people, there is no any choice, I mean, the easiest way to get the money at the moment is by doing that and reconstruction works need that as well. It’s a dilemma.
