My Story

Stories from the Centers: ISCO Gege Banjir merendam kampung gege yang berada dikelurahan duri kepa Jakarta barat termasuk sangga ISCO, Can you help them???? Dina (The floods have soaked Gege Village which is located in the West of Jakarta. Can you help them? Dina) ISCO Pademangan Banjir di Pademangan tidak terlalu parah,Sanggar pademangan timur banjir sudah 3 kali semenjak mulai banjir.sementara rumah orang tua juga tidak terlalu parah, hanya sebatas telapak kaki dan sebetis,tapi dijalanan banjir meluap dari air kali ancol dan kali hitam.mobil susah lewat.sekolah juga libur karena terkena banjir.daerah king, pademangan Barat sangat parah ,angkot bemo tidak beroperasi beberapa hari karena tidak bias lewat.jadi akses jalan susah.busway juga tidak jalan beberapa hari.macet dimana-mana sampai berjam-jam ( 2 sampai 3 jam ). Ralin (The Flooding in Pademangan is not too severe, but our center in Pademangan has already flooded 3 times since the start. The flooding in our parents house is only a foot and a half, but the overflowing of water flooding the streets near Ancol brings hard times. Transportation and mini buses do not operate which has led to the closures of School. Ralin) ISCO Kosambi It’s a bad situation since Saturday until Tuesday kurang lebih sepaha orang dewasa,karena banjir membuat suasana menjadi tegang,terutama saat saya melihat kondisi di tempat pengungsian banyak di temukan orang kelaparan,kedinginan, karena lambatnya pengiriman bantuan logistic dll.saya di sana hanya bias menssuport dan di hari ke dua memberi mie instan untuk setiap anak agar bisa menahan lapar untuk hari itu.dan bersyukur di hari rabu seluruh orang tua sudah bisa kembali ke ruamah masing-masing. Saat ini yang tersisa hanya sampah-sampah bekas banjir dan barang-barang banyak yang hilang harapan saya sedih mereka bisa di ganti dengan kebahagiaaan dari kita dengan bantuan yang di perlukan mereka saat ini. Thanks. Citra (It has been a bad situation since Monday to Tuesday. Flooding has made the atmosphere tense, especially when I saw the conditions in the camp I found a lot of people hungry and cold due to the slow delivery of logistic support etc. There was only support for the men, so the children were starving for days until Wednesday. Then I am grateful for it. And then all the parents are able to return to their homes. Currently it is just the remaining Garbage flooding and numerous items missing. My expectations are sad that they will be replaced. We need help in this time. Thanks. Citra) ISCO Semper Dampak banjir bagi anak anak Semper Sampai sekarang daerah rumah anak anak semper masih terendam banjir Banyak anak anak tidak sekolah karena seragam sekolah mereka terendam dan buku buku banyak yang terendam banjir. Dan juga anak anak terkena penyakit demam panas dan kutu air. Makan mereka juga kurang David (The flood has soaked the Childrens homes in Semper. Many children are not in school because their school uniforms submerged and many books are flooded. And the children are also exposed to fever, heat and water fleas. They also eat less. (David) ISCO Mangga Dua Dampag banir bagi anak-anak Mangga Dua. Sampai Sekarang area Jalan Yang menuju manga dua masih ter Genang air dan baberapa rumah anak juga masih terendam air... Leah (The area around Mangga Dua is still too flooded for the children to return. And childrens homes are still underwater. Leah) Terima Kasih, Thank You for visiting my fundraising page. Torrential rain in Jakarta has impacted on over 800 children sponsored by ISCO Foundation, displacing them from their homes and forcing them to evacuate. The education and activity centers have been inundated by the floods with the following centers affected. Kampung Gege, Semper, Manggarai, Pesing, Mangga dua, Pademangan, Penjaringan, Kosambi, Semanan & Kampung Mangga. ISCO Foundation needs emergency funding to replace food, milk,medicine, clothing, uniforms and textbooks. Please support the ISCO Flood-Appeal. Your donation will go towards replacing these important goods lost in the floods.
