Vice President Gibran Visits Refugee Tents In Poso, Asks Children’s Learning Activities To Keep Running

POSO – Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka asked students to learn about earthquake victims in Poso, Central Sulawesi, to continue even though they were in emergency evacuation tents facilitated by BNPB.

This was conveyed by Gibran after reviewing the evacuation posts for earthquake victims at the Tangkura Village Football Field, as well as SD Negeri 1 Tangkura, Poso Pesisir Selatan District, Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi, Friday, August 22.

“I have landed at Poso to see that there was an emergency school and also a school that was damaged at the time of the incident last week. What is clear is that I entrusted earlier to the Principal so that teaching and learning activities continue to run normally,” said Vice President Gibran as quoted by ANTARA.

Vice President Gibran ensured that teaching and learning activities continued normally with the construction of four emergency school tents by BNPB at the evacuation post.

In the same location, hundreds of residents have fled in tents because their houses were heavily damaged after the earthquake.

The Vice President also appreciated the local government and BNPB for responding quickly to earthquake victims by providing public kitchens and distributing logistical assistance at evacuation posts.

The main thing is that the Vice President ensures that public facilities, such as health centers, schools, and houses of residents that are damaged and collapsed due to the earthquake will be repaired or rebuilt.

Earlier, we met several families whose houses were damaged and collapsed. Later for houses that were heavily damaged, moderately damaged, lightly damaged, all of them would be assisted. Facilities such as schools, maybe there are health centers, other places, we will repair or rebuild other facilities later, “said the vice president.
