KOMAS-SEAPCP Aceh Emergency Relief - Mission Dates

Mien gave me a complete list of dates for the Aceh relief mission. There are eight separate teams altogether, one of which left and returned a couple of days ago. (Read Tan Jo Hann's account here: Day 1 & 2, Day 3 Day 4 & 5)

19 Jan - 26 Jan
27 Jan - 3 Feb
5 Feb - 12 Feb
14 Feb - 21 Feb
23 Feb - 2 March
4 March - 11 March
13 March - 20 March

Each mission lasts a week, and will consist of five to six members - three or four of which will be medical personnel, with one documentator and one ground operations officer. This team will travel to Medan via airplane and take a 12-hr truck ride to Aceh. They will administer medical aid in villages at the fringe of the affected areas that are overrun with victims and refugees.

We work very closely with our local NGO friends collaborating with the KSKBA (Koalisi Solidaritas Kemanusiaan Bencana Alam Aceh Sumatra Utara) or the Solidarity Humanitarian Coalition for the Natural Disaster in Aceh, North Sumatra.

Spread across two months, these missions the coalition committed itself to will demand alot of effort, volunteers and resources - we will appreciate any sort of contribution or assistance anyone has to offer. If you have a medical background and wish to volunteer, or if you wish to donate, please contact us here, or send an e-mail to komas_aceh@yahoo.com for any enquiries.
