*Permaculture relief and aid - Lessons from Aceh and Timor - Steve Cran*

"It’s been a year since I first stepped foot on the tsunami zone in Aceh,
Indonesia. What a year! This has certainly been one of the most difficult
projects I’ve done."

The influx of hundreds of charities and organizations rushing in to assist
the victims of the tsunami was a needed relief at first but as the months
rolled on and people stabilized, the shock wore away and the depressing
realities of being homeless in a harsh landscape set in.

On top of the difficulties of living in rough camps with poor sanitation,
aid- dependency began to take hold on the people. Survivors in the zone
became totally dependent on food handouts and other charity supplies to the
point where many people stopped struggling to rebuild with the misguided
belief that any day now , an NGO will come along and give them everything
they need.

Steve Cran is a sustainable community development specialist. With 15 years
of constant field project experience Steve enjoys the challenge of assisting
people living on the edge of survival to rebuild their communities.
