JOGJAKARTA: AUSTCARE and Australian Aid International (AAI) have partnered to send a team of medical personnel to Java, to help people injured in last Saturday’s earthquake.
AUSTCARE and AAI are using the local Tigers motorbike club to travel to areas inaccessible by car, to reach people injured by the quake. The Tigers are volunteers, donating their time and the use of their bikes. In addition to transporting the medical team, the bikers also ride out to other remote communities, conducting needs assessments and delivering that information back to the AUSTCARE/AAI team.
