Wellspring International - Food Aid project in Nias

Full story

• Update from
Wellspring website

It’s been our pleasure and honor to be chosen by Wellspring International as its local partner for this humanitarian project. Together, UID and its key partner YCAB are proud to have coordinated a distribution of 1,300 food-aid packages as a response post-Tsunami 26 December 2004 and the earthquake of 28 March 2005 in Nias. The food-aid packages were distributed in 18 villages all over Nias and Hinako islands, northern Sumatra, Indonesia.

It’s been a long way to make this project happen. It took three months since the first wired transfer by Wellspring International to deliver these packages. The delay was caused by a local election for head of district in Nias, during which we were advised not to distribute any aid, although the packages had already been sent to Nias.

These food-aid packages were finally distributed in the first week of April 2006 when we were in Nias and had the privilege to witness the delivery ourselves. Villagers were so happy when they received their gifts, since their usual food supplies were effected by storm and unfriendly weather.

God is never too late to help them; it’s been a perfect time for them to receive this food aid!

THANK YOU, WELLSPRING INTERNATIONAL
because what you have done has means so much to 1,300 beneficiary families in Nias and Hinako islands .
