Human Initiative Provides Psychosocial Support for Children Affected by the West Sumatra Earthquake

9 March 2022

Pasaman Barat – Human Initiative (HI) invites earthquake survivors in Pasaman Barat, West Sumatra to participate in educational games.  This is a form of psychosocial activity at the Jorong Lubuk Sariak refugee camp, Pasaman Barat Regency (28/2).

To relieve the trauma, Human Initiative volunteer team provides educational games and emotional assistance.  In addition, HI Team also invited them to sing together, compete, and shout with joy in answering the facilitator’s exciting questions.  Not to forget, the facilitators also gave gifts to approximately 40 child survivors.

There is a story about a child who survived the Pasaman earthquake, her name is Pipi.  That morning, Pipi had to flee to a safer place in Tanjung Baruang.  Pipi felt afraid if there was another earthquake.  In addition, currently Pipi is confused and doesn’t know what activities to do in the refugee camps because the school where she is studying was damaged by the earthquake.
“Sis, I’m afraid there will be another earthquake,” said Pipi when she told the volunteer team of Human Initiative.

Alhamdulillah, after receiving assistance from Human Initiative and support from local young volunteers, the trauma caused by the West Sumatra earthquake experienced by the children gradually improved.  Moreover, at the end of their psychosocial activities, they received prizes in the form of some food and soft drinks.

“Alhamdulillah, Sis, Pipi is happy, thank you, brothers and sisters,” said Pipi on behalf of her friends that day.
