Flooding in Salembaran Jaya

On Friday, February 1st, World Harvest held a medical clinic. The original time was from 10am to 2pm, but heavy rain caused flooding. There hadn’t been a flood in Salembaran Jaya village in over 15 years, but last Friday it flooded. The starting time was delayed until 1pm because villagers couldn’t arrive on time, but at last the clinic started and ran well. We served approximately 300 people in this community. Almost all of the homes of the World Harvest sponsored children were flooded. The medical clinic led by Dr. Mickey and Dr. Ivon finished around 5pm. It turned out that the flooding affected most of Jakarta as well, including ten of the poor communities served by World Harvest.
