Our Relief Center/Posko Kita BANDA ACEH www.posko.org
OUR RELIEF CENTER/POSKO KITA has been established in Banda Aceh by Indonesian NGOs including Perempuan Peka, Solidaritas Perempuan (Women's Solidarity), YBUL, NADI. They are coordinating closely with other relief efforts including those of IDEP, MSF, Walhi and Greenpeace. Posko Kita has 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 three days, over 150 volunteers have begun arriving in Banda Aceh. Their goal is to have a weekly total of 500 volunteers, primarily from local communities in Sumatra, including fishing villages. They have also recruited doctors. They have mapped out the location and number of refugee camps, number of people occupying the camps and their needs. They are in the process of assisting the set-up of a field clinic and a field kitchen. With time, their focus will increasingly fall on the specific needs of women and children who are often underserved in these circumstances.
