We went early in the morning to Jogja to pick Inuy up from Adisucipto airport. She brought another large box of logistics with her, full of used clothes, blankets, under garments and adult diapers.
That morning we wanted to survey the medical team at work, so we went to Patuk, Gunung Kidul area, where they planned to give medical aid. Along the way we found out that there were two teams departed from Wates, the other went to Pundong. Because of some reasons, both team left Wates very late from their schedule, so we arrived at the area much earlier than them.
After we waited for about an hour, the medical team finally came. We went with them up a windy and narrow road, and after several back track, we arrived at our destination. We were shocked to find out that most of the medicine needed for the treatment were misplaced to another car that went to Pundong, so we couldn’t give any medical treatment there. We were more upset on seeing the reaction (or rather, the over reaction) of Ibu Ninik to the situation. She lashed out her anger openly in front of a small group of villagers who at that time were already gathering around our cars. It wasn’t very professional, but fortunately the villagers didn’t complain. We left after we gave milk and baby food to the locals.

Gleno distributed milk and baby food. Location: Patuk, Gunung Kidul.
We went back to Jogja in the afternoon. Marlo, Sheila, Gleno and Mas Dono went to visit Mbak Lidia, a businesswoman from Jogja who wanted to give some contribution for the quake victim through us. Me, Inuy and Dianti waited for them at Keris Mas.
We spent the evening at Air Putih again, Sheila and Inuy updated the blog while the others coordinate with Jakarta. We received information from Wates that evening that 11 box of logistics sent by Haryo had arrived there.
When we went back to Wates, it was already dark. We went to Posko GKJ Wates, where we found that some volunteers were already sorting the logistics sent by Haryo from Jakarta. Sheila, Dianti and Inuy discussed the medical team plan for the next day with Mbak Ririn and Ibu Ninik. We went back to Mas Pras after that to get some rest.
(For me, the day wasn’t actually over because I had to go back to Jogja again with Inuy to get my camera that was left accidentaly at Air Putih…)
