More than 6.234 people died, 33.231 people got serious injured, and more than 7.170 homes were crushed. Thousands of children loosing their parents, uncles, grandmas, meanwhile lots of family lost one or two even the whole member of the family ...
World Association of Non Government Organization (Wango) and Domes For The World built this 71 unit "anti-earthquake" houses include one Mosque, one Medical Clinic, one Kindergarten and a play ground. The project it self supported by the government and people all around Indonesia. Its one big things to do, for a better life. These days, People at New Ngelepen Village got a very own place called home, thanks to WANGO and Domes For The World.
Years goes by and the traumatic things vanished as the clocks ticking. It has been two years and the life at New Ngelepen Village is getting better and better. people started to built their new life and forget about the disaster that happened and crushed their heart. Now they have a teletubbies house (Because of its shape, people then called it "Teletubbies house") that they will keep as the monument for the great power of nature. Thank you.
