It's very difficult to explain with a situation like this💦, Stay patient and grateful. December 29, 2025

Hello everyone.

They are children who understand each other's circumstances and situations now. In fact, they look like adult children who already understand disasters and bad situations. Every day they don't feel very enthusiastic, even the women only spend time sitting with their friends. At this age, they really need guidance and learning, because they have been out of school for almost a month because the school collapsed due to a natural disaster.

They looked for friends in refugee camps to gather at one point which they decorated. They imitated our life here and even made emergency tents like in the highlands of Aceh Tamiang. I can understand they are very traumatized. Even if it doesn't make sense to me, they brought cooking utensils to the refugee camp to make their own breakfast. It's really sad when I see they can only complain. Take good care of yourself, I hope you will be successful people in the future.

Once a week, we always go around a village in Aceh Tamiang. We don't look at damaged housing, but we go around to monitor other food aid, because several countries like China and Malaysia are currently providing food and medicine to us. So, every morning, while waiting for breakfast at the public kitchen in the evacuation center, we go around our beloved village.

When we first started distributing cooked food in the public kitchen, every Sunday, the public kitchen specifically for refugees served various foods, such as instant noodles and other dishes like peanut porridge and chicken porridge. Anyone interested in receiving a portion had to queue up. Sometimes, we were willing to wait in line for food in the bright sun.

It has a very spacious yard, but now, at the intersection of village roads in the Aceh Tamiang highlands, the streets here are lined with shelters and rest areas, much like those in a refugee camp, because it's not far from the evacuation center. Every time they have breakfast, their relatives and friends always choose to have breakfast together, because the air here is a little fresh and comfortable.

In the highest plateau, the yard is very spacious. However, in the village where we stayed, we were very careful. Although it looks like a plateau, if this village floods, the floodwaters will evaporate into this area. So, even though it's safe, we were very careful. However, this place is one of the playgrounds for refugee children. Our friends and I love playing here because it's spacious.

Especially for us, every time we receive aid, we cook it in the refugee tent, then continue here to enjoy it. While enjoying it, we took in the scenery from every corner. It felt beautiful, even though it was a little hot because the sun shone directly on this area. This is because there aren't many large trees here. Moreover, there is still no network or electricity here at all, not even a single tower.

Every afternoon, while waiting for the internet connection from the aid fund to be activated, we find our own entertainment to keep us from feeling sad. For example, the kids play soccer with their friends, and we can just enjoy them playing, and we have our own variations here.

The days seem to go by very slowly. Perhaps we're already feeling bored, even though we try to find variety in our daily activities. The reason is that boredom comes suddenly when we have nothing to offer. Personally, I'm always busy searching for material for my daily posts from morning to evening. Every night, we have internet access, even if it's only for a few hours, but we're very happy.
