The Tsunami Project in Indonesia
Introduction
Wings of Support is currently working together with Aircares and Pilots without Borders in setting up a unique project. The unique character of the project is twofold:
- For the first time several independent non-profit organizations within KLM (Wings of Support, Aircares and Pilots without Borders) work closely together to realize a great project. This is also done in cooperation with the Liliane Fund and Sharing Success, an entrepreneurial participation fund within the Liliane Fund.
- In Medan, a rehabilitation center for handicapped children will be built where also the education of the fieldworkers who work with these children in the tsunami areas, will take place. This approach within this center is also special in Indonesia.
In the aftermath of this great sea quake west of Sumatra on Boxing day 2004 many handicapped children seemed to have become the victim of the tsunami. Not only the direct consequences of the tsunami are hard on these children; the social unacceptance of these children, as full persons is a much greater handicap.
Together with
Aircares
, Pilots without Borders,
the Liliane Fund
AND Sharing Success an opportunity will be created to – if medically necessary – take these children from the affected areas and let them revalidate and rehabilitate in the center. When sufficiently recovered, they can return to their own environment. For the children who became orphans, a permanent place within the center or orphanage will be created.

Description
Soon after the Tsunami on December 26 2004 many questions reached WoS whether we were to support Giro 555.
This kind of help however, does not fall within our vision of aid. This is why we wanted to do something else and are happy to be able to help in conjunction with PZG and Aircares. Together with these organizations, Sharing Success and the Liliane Fund, WoS will build a revalidation and rehabilitation centre in Medan, North Sumatra. There, revalidation, rehabilitation and if necessary shelter will be offered to handicapped children from mainly the tsunami areas. After revalidation the children will return to their own living environment.
Furthermore, a mini-van will be purchased which will be used as a mobile medical unit. This mini-van will drive around the area of Banda Aceh to visit the known as well as search for unknown handicapped children. With this medical unit direct medical help can be offered. Also a part of the current costs for the project in Banda Aceh will be financed.

How to get there
For crew it is hardly possible to visit this project from a KLM slipstation. From KUL and SIN it can be done on a long stop but you will need to purchase tickets and a visa. Visa can be arranged on arrival at the airport in Medan. For further information you can contact Ron van Wagtendonk.
