Cassava and lemons are the results of our search in the forest. We are always trying to find new variations in life🕊️.

Hello everyone.

This morning, my body was so tired, so weak. Last night, the power was completely out and it rained heavily. My activities were incredibly tiring, as I cleaned several corners of my home. When I woke up, my body ached and my morning activities felt incredibly heavy.

This morning, the refugee campers and my friends went to the rice fields to look for some food grown in nature, like cassava and herbs for us to consume. We were so happy because every time we went, we always found what we wanted. Like this morning, we were able to bring home some cassava grown in the rice fields.

We also brought home some leman hutan fruit, which is very delicious and important for us here to cook some dishes. Especially raw fish, it is very suitable to add leman hutan water to the fish to prevent the fish from smelling fishy. Today, although our bodies feel weak and sore, today we are very grateful because we found the natural product we really wanted.

It was 3:00 PM, approaching the afternoon. Clean water had not yet arrived at the evacuation center. We had been receiving very little clean water lately, even though we were still struggling and facing an economic and clean water crisis. We didn't sit idly by. Every time the water supply started to run low, we immediately headed to the river to collect clean water, rather than sit idle and receive nothing.

This was the current situation, with aid getting weaker by the day. Every day we boiled river water in the public kitchen so we could enjoy clean, relatively healthy water. As the afternoon approached, the weather became extremely hot, and we couldn't go out to find new variations due to the intense heat. We were here doing essential activities, such as preparing food for breakfast that evening.

It was late afternoon, the sun was setting. We didn't have much time left to play. After we'd finished our important tasks, we went out for a few moments to find some new entertainment. My friends joined in the fun to keep us from feeling anxious and restless. Furthermore, the internet connection in our area wasn't yet normal, and we were still having trouble finding a connection. We could only manage to access the internet for a few hours a day.
