I received a WA message from @radjasalman regarding the delivery of assistance from @steem.amal for fire victims in Batuphat, Lhokseumawe, Aceh. We immediately agreed not to delay, but to submit immediately on Wednesday (5/7/2023).

We have a busy schedule. I just arrived from Banda Aceh and am still tired. On Wednesday there are two classes that carry out the end-of-semester exams. And there was a sudden agenda to visit Ahmad Albastin's child at the Arun hospital, Batuphat.

On the way to Batuphat, I called Miswar, the coordinator of the Refugee Post. I announce the arrival of the @steem.amal team coordinated by @radjasalman. They are already waiting at the location.

When I arrived, at the same time the employee alumni of PT Arun NGL came. In that group, I saw Teddy Safari, a former Public Relations staff of PT Arun. From the mouth of the tunnel to the location of the fire, I chatted with Teddy.

According to Teddy, retired employees of PT Arun brought assistance of more than IDR 19 million. They immediately handed over the assistance to the Head of East Batuphat Village, H Abdul Gani, who was accompanied by the Head of Hamlet A, Tgk Abdul Rahman, the Flag of the Fire Victim Care Post, Iskandar, and the coordinator of the post, Miswar.

After handing over cash assistance from retired PT Arun employees, it was our turn from @steem.amal to hand over assistance. @radjasalman handed over cash assistance worth IDR 7 million to Keuchik Abdul Gani who was accompanied by village officials.

According to @radjasalman, this assistance comes from various communities on the Steemit platform coordinated by the Amal Steem Community. On that occasion, @radjasalman also explained briefly about Steemit and how to become part of the community.

“We want to provide more assistance to the victims. However, this is all we can provide. Hopefully, it can ease the burden on our brothers and sisters here," said @radjasalman.

Head of Dusun A Batuphat Timur, Tgk Abdul Rahman, thanked @steem.amal and all those who really care about the fire victims. Since the incident on June 30, 2023, they have received a lot of assistance.

"We hope that all assistance will be coordinated with the Command Post so that assistance can be tailored to the needs of the victims. Currently, we are receiving a large number of chicken eggs. Meanwhile, victims need other assistance, such as school uniforms for children," said Tgk Abdul Rahman, who is familiarly called Tgk Irhas.

After handing over the aid, the team from @steem.amal was asked to enjoy lunch with the victims. "Everyone has to eat with us, as a form of togetherness," said a fire victim.[]

Penyerahan Bantuan Korban Kebakaran di Batuphat dan Makan siang yang Penuh Kekeluargaan

Saya mendapatkan pesan WA dari @radjasalman mengenai penyerahan bantuan dari @steem.amal bagi korban kebakaran di Batuphat, Lhokseumawe, Aceh. Kami langsung bersepakat untuk tidak menunda, tapi langsung menyerahkan pada Rabu (5/7/2023).

Kami memiliki kesibukan yang padat. Saya baru tiba dari Banda Aceh dan masih lelah. Hari Rabu ada dua kelas yang melaksanakan ujian akhir semester. Dan ada agenda mendadak membesuk anak Ahmad Albastin di rumah sakit Arun, Batuphat.

Dalam perjalanan menuju Batuphat, saya menelepon Miswar, koordinator Posko Pengungsi. Saya mengabarkan kedatangan tim @steem.amal yang dikoordinir @radjasalman. Mereka sudah siap menunggu di lokasi.

Ketika saya tiba, pada saat bersamaan datang alumni karyawan PT Arun NGL. Dalam rombongan itu saya melihat Teddy Safari, mantan staf Humas PT Arun. Dari mulut lorong ke lokasi kebakaran, saya berbincang dengan Teddy.

Menurut Teddy, pensiunan karyawan PT Arun membawakan bantuan Rp19 juta lebih. Mereka langsung menyerahkan bantuan kepada Kepala Desa Batuphat Timur, H Abdul Gani, yang didampingi Kepala Dusun A, Tgk Abdul Rahman, Bendera Posko Peduli Korban Kebakaran, Iskandar, serta koodirnator posko, Miswar.

Setelah penyerahan bantuan uang tunai dari pensiunan karyawan PT Arun, giliran kami dari @steem.amal yang menyerahkan bantuan. Penyerahan bantuan uang tunai senilai Rp7 juta tersebut dilakukan @radjasalman kepada Keuchik Abdul Gani yang didampingi perangkat desa.

Menurut @radjasalman, bantuan tersebut bersumber dari berbagai komunitas di platform Steemit yang dikoordinir Komunitas Steem Amal. Dalam kesempatan itu, @radjasalman juga menjelaskan secara singkat tentang Steemit dan cara menjadi bagian dari komunitas tersebut.

“Kami ingin memberikkan lebih banyak bantuan kepada para korban. Namun, hanya ini yang bisa kami berikan. Semoga bisa meringankan beban saudara-saudara kami di sini,” ungkap @radjasalman.

Kepala Dusun A Batuphat Timur, Tgk Abdul Rahman, mengucapkan terima kasih atas bantuan dari @steem.amal dan semua pihak yang sangat peduli terhadap korban kebakaran. Sejak kejadian pada 30 Juni 2023 lalu, mereka sudah menerima banyak bantuan.

“Kami berharap, semua bantuan dikoordinasi dengan posko, agar bantuan bisa disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan para korban. Sekarang ini, kami menerima banyak sekali telur ayam. Sementara korban membutuhkan bantuan lain seperti seragam sekolah untuk anak,” ungkap Tgk Abdul Rahman yang akrab disapa Tgk Irhas.

Setelah penyerahan bantuan, tim dari @steem.amal diminta menikmati makan siang bersama para korban. “Semuanya harus makan bersama kami, sebagai bentuk kebersamaan,” ujar seorang korban kebakaran.[]
