When disaster stikes we are here to reform order from chaos. Ordo ob Chao.

 Love and Light to you my friend.. 

I am sure we all wish to be there in the physical form, but instead send ourselves through heart and soul.

 take care and keep us posted with your words and pictures..

In 57 seconds - 7 days ago the earth shuddered and shook with a violent force - walls collapsed, bricks and red-tile roofs smashed down on those trapped inside and 3,968 people died in the Bantul regency alone. 80% of it was reduced to piles of rubble.(The Yogyakarta province is shaped like a huge triangle with the volcano, Mt. Merapi at the top point. The city of Yogya sits in the middle and the base at the bottom is called Bantul.) In all over 6,000 have died so far including 1,668 in Klaten, near Prambanan and 165 in the city of Yogya itself. Thousands of people are still sleeping outside, in makeshift camps under plastic tarps or cardboard, wearing the only clothes they own. Some huddled under umbrellas in the rain that fell during three nights...sleeping on the paths between rice paddies, on top of narrow irrigation ditches. Many have eaten almost nothing in these 7 days or are living on packets of instant noodles. There is no electricity, cooking fuel, or pans to cook in. Clean water is scarce, sanitation a problem. ISN'T THE GOVERNMENT DOING ANYTHING? Yes, both foreign and domestic aid is being distributed. But the logistics are staggering to reach each person who needs help. HERE'S THE PROBLEM... LOOKS ARE DECEIVING. The tropical dazzle of rice fields and palm trees hides hundreds of small subsistence farming villages. 1.68 million people live on 197 sq. miles in the hardest hit area of Bantul. Thousands of tiny hamlets of rural simplicity - and poverty - are densely packed into the limestone hills, twisting up cobblestone and dirt roads from the rice-growing plains. The aid trucks rumble along the overcrowded two-lane main road and are doing the best they can. But hundreds of villages back up in the hills have not been contacted at all or maybe once given 10 pounds of rice for several families to live on. Some of the big trucks can't even get into the remotest areas. People are afraid to leave their homes unguarded for fear of looting. There is no gasoline for the motorbikes or trucks. Many are still recovering from wounds and can�t walk. With 851 aftershocks in six days, the fear and shock of all that�s happened has left them desperate and traumatized. URGENT HELP IS NEEDED!
