Subject: The Progress Report of DONATION FROM BELANDA
Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2006 19:35:38 -0700 (PDT)
Hi
Marieke,
Good
morning! Long time no send you e-mails. Perpustakaan
building were renovated (because of the earthquake) so
the internet network was off. Today everything is
starting ok so I am trying to contact you. On Saturday
night (11 August 2006) 08.00 p.m. there was a meeting of
the kampung RT 01 members and the leader of the kampung
announced that there were a donation from Bu Yuli's
friend Belanda. It was really surprise for them because
long time no donation from anywhere. The leaders finally
decided that the money will not be devided same for all
family but it will depend on the number of the family.
I’ve put everything about this donation to the leaders
of the kampung but I always monitor the operational of
it. Total of the money I received in my bank account was
Rp 24.800.000,00. Finally we use 18 million rupiahs to
be devided to the all families (I will scan the written
report and send you via e-mail, but it is still in the
process). I handed Rp 3.500.000,00 to PKK (woman
organization of the kampong RT 01). The PKK management will
manage the money for the social welfare in the kampong (to
prepare the madecines, and the added foods for the babies
under 5 years old, something like milk). There are about 25
babies under 5 years old. It is impossible for the people
here to buy some milk because it is very very expensive. I
use the rest of the money (Rp 3.300.000) to renovate my own
house. Here I want to tell you everything about our house
renovation:
Ø
One
main bricklayer and one second bricklayer are doing it.
They are patching a lot of potholes on the wall. We pay
Rp 35.000,00 for a main bricklayer and Rp 30.000,00 for
the second one for one day (from 08.00 a.m. till 04.00
p.m.). It will need about 40 days to finish the
renovations. So Rp 65.000,00 x 40 days = Rp 2.600.000,00
Ø
to buy
a truck of sand is Rp 350.000,00
Ø
to buy
20 sacks of cement (@ Rp 30.000,00) is Rp 600.000,00
Ø
to buy
one door to a bathroom is Rp 500.000,00
Ø
to
prepare the unpredictable cost is Rp 1.000.000,00
So the
total of the costs is Rp 5.050.000,00. I ever told
you that we applicate the credit of the koperasi Rp
2.000.000,00 We received the credit on August 4th
2006 and the first payment will be next month for 30 months.
Dear
Marieke, you were right about your speaking on the first
phone you called me. The time, I told you that the
government promised to the victims of the earthquake
that we would get the living cost Rp 90.000,00 per head
per a month for 3 months, and the compensation of the
damaged building was between 10 till 30 million rupiahs.
And then you asked me: “Yuli, do you believe about it?”
I don’t believe it. Where the money will get from?” In
the real, all of the promise is just a invented story.
There were just 30 families (from 160 families in
Mandungan II) and just 5 families (from 40 families in RT
01) who received the livingcost donations just for one month.
That why the donations didn’t solve the problems but invited
new problems. It was cuasing horizontal conflict among us. Nobody
received the compensation of damaged building until now. It
is very very bad condition.
That
is why the donations from you (you, your family, and
your friends) is very very useful for us. We don’t know
how to thank to all of you. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Of
course, we (the leaders of RT 01 and PKK) are trying to
get another donations in order to be able to keep the
life on. Majority of the
people here is farmers, manual workers, agricultural workers.
Our family here is in good position of the job because I and
Mas Pri worked as government officers. The people here
practically cannot work daily because they have to become
volunteers every day to renovate the damage buildings in our
own village. It is called GOTONG ROYONG.
On
October will be rainy season, we have to work hardly to
make the houses for the people who stay in tents. Of
course the house will be made from bamboo.
OK….Marieke,
I have to stop writing because I have to work. I will
try to write the progress report to you.
With
love,
Yuli
