Tropical Cyclone Seroja Brought Floods and Landslides www.svdcuria.org Tropical Cyclone Seroja brought floods and landslides: SVDs give an account and update A tropical cyclone named Seroja hit the islands in the Province of Nusa Tenggara Timur: Flores, Timor, Sumba and the small islands, and the neighboring country East Timor. According to CNN, on April 4, the powerful cyclone unleashed torrential rains causing flash floods in different areas. As a result of the La Niña phenomenon, the Tropical Cyclone Seroja hits Indonesia bringing heavy rains, flooding homes and destroying properties, and claiming several victims' lives. In neighboring East Timor, a two-year-old child was among the casualties in a landslide in Dili. A witness told Reuter news that roads have collapsed and trees have fallen, making it challenging to access some areas. It is believed that the havoc brought by Cyclone Seroja is the worst in 40 years. Heavy rains and strong wind are still forecasted in the coming days. Father Superior General Paulus Budi Kleden and Bro. Carlos Ferrada, the JPIC Coordinator, has received updates from the Province of Indonesia Timor (IDT), Indonesia Ende (IDE), Indonesia Timor (IDT), and the Region of Timor Leste (TLS). Fr. Suban Gapun, the regional of TLS and his vice, Fr. Manoj Manuel Khadary, describe the ravaging tropical cyclone Seroja hitting the region around Dili. Our formation house, still under construction, in Manleu-ana has been spared from any damages, but the first floor of the regional house in Dili was flooded. 13 people have lost their lives, including a Salesian Frater who was at home for Easter. Five of the victims are from our parish in Hera. The damages on houses and properties are still to be evaluated. Most of the parishes and Religious institutes have offered their places as shelters. Our SVD and SSPs Sisters are doing what they can by providing necessities such as medication and food for the families affected. A confrere from IDT shares information he received regarding West Timor including Kupang. These areas have experienced heavy rains and strong winds. As a result, thousands of houses have been flooded. Some buildings of our university Widya Mandira are damaged. We are waiting for the information from the Provincial whom we cannot contact because of the loss of internet connection due to the disaster. A confrere from the IDE province reported the massive floods and landslides in the islands of Adonara and Lembata. In Adonara, forty people are reported dead and several people are still missing. The two confreres working on the island are fine, but a direct communication with them was still not possible. In the island of Lembata, where we have an SVD parish and an SVD house, the situation is also critical. The local authorities have confirmed that twenty people are found dead and some are still missing. Our confreres there are safe. The IDE-JPIC Team is organizing a solidarity campaign to aid the victims of the Tropical Cyclone. From IDR, our confrere shares to the General JPIC Coordinator about the heavy winds still causing damages. The roof of Provincialate house has been damaged with punctured holes. He also related that out of caution from flying debris, the members of the community remained indoors. Regarding the Sumba Island which belongs to the IDR where we have several parishes and one school, there is still no information available due to the communication problems. As news and updates will continue to be received by the General JPIC coordinator's office, we will deliver them to you. In Father Superior General's name, we extend our condolences and support to all those families who have lost a loved one. We pray for all the victims who lost their properties and are now in shelters. We encouraged all our confreres and SSpS Sisters to continue their unconditional support and attention to those in need. El ciclón tropical Seroja provocó inundaciones y deslizamientos de tierra: Informe actualizado de la SVD Un ciclón tropical llamado Seroja azotó las islas de la provincia de Nusa Tenggara Timur: Flores, Timor, Sumba y las islas pequeñas, y el vecino país Timor Oriental. Según CNN, el 4 de abril, el poderoso ciclón desató lluvias torrenciales que provocaron inundaciones repentinas en diferentes áreas. Como resultado del fenómeno de La Niña, el ciclón tropical Seroja golpea Indonesia trayendo fuertes lluvias, inundando hogares y destruyendo propiedades, y cobrando la vida de varias víctimas. En el vecino Timor Este, un niño de dos años se encontraba entre las víctimas de un deslizamiento de tierra en Dili. Un testigo le dijo a Reuter que las carreteras se derrumbaron y los árboles se cayeron, lo que dificulta el acceso a algunas áreas. Se cree que los estragos provocados por el ciclón Seroja son los peores en 40 años. Aún se pronostican fuertes lluvias y vientos en los próximos días. El Padre Superior General Paulus Budi Kleden y el Hno. Carlos Ferrada, el Coordinador de JPIC del Generalato, ha recibido actualizaciones de la Provincia de Indonesia Timor (IDT), Indonesia Ende (IDE), Indonesia Timor (IDT) y de la Región de Timor Leste (TLS). El P. Suban Gapun, el regional de TLS y su vice, el P. Manoj Manuel Khadary, describen el devastador ciclón tropical Seroja que azotó la región alrededor de Dili. Nuestra casa de formación, todavía en construcción, en Manleu-ana se ha salvado de cualquier daño, pero el primer piso de la casa regional en Dili se inundó. 13 personas han perdido la vida, incluido un seminarista salesiano que estaba en casa durante la Pascua. Cinco de las víctimas son de nuestra parroquia en Hera. Los daños en casas y propiedades aún se deben evaluar. La mayoría de las parroquias e institutos religiosos han ofrecido sus instalaciones como albergues. Nuestros cohermanos SVD, conjuntamente con las Hermanas SSpS, están haciendo lo que pueden para proporcionar medicamentos y alimentos a las familias afectadas. Un cohermano de IDT comparte información que recibió sobre Timor Occidental, incluido Kupang. Estas áreas han experimentado fuertes lluvias y vientos. Como resultado, se han inundado miles de casas. Algunos edificios de nuestra universidad Widya Mandira están dañados. Estamos esperando la información del Provincial con quien no nos hemos podido contactar debido a la pérdida de conexión a Internet provocada por el desastre. Un cohermano de la provincia IDE informó sobre las inundaciones masivas y los deslizamientos de tierra en las islas de Adonara y Lembata. En Adonara, se reportan cuarenta personas muertas y varias personas siguen desaparecidas. Los dos cohermanos que trabajan en la isla están bien, pero aún no ha sido posible una comunicación directa con ellos. En la isla de Lembata, donde tenemos una parroquia SVD y una casa SVD, la situación también es crítica. Las autoridades locales han confirmado que veinte personas han aparecido muertas y algunas siguen desaparecidas. Nuestros cohermanos están a salvo. El Equipo IDE-JPIC está organizando una campaña solidaria para ayudar a las víctimas del Ciclón Tropical. Desde IDR, un cohermano comparte con el Coordinador General de JPIC sobre los fuertes vientos que aún causan daños. El techo de la casa Provincial ha sido dañado y hay varios agujeros. También relató que por precaución con los escombros que volaban, los miembros de la comunidad permanecieron en el interior. Respecto a la Isla Sumba que pertenece al IDR donde tenemos varias parroquias y una escuela, todavía no hay información disponible por los problemas de comunicación. Tan pronto como recibamos nuevos reportes se los comunicaremos. En nombre del Padre Superior General, extendemos nuestro más sentido pésame y apoyo a todas aquellas familias que han perdido a un ser querido. Oramos por todas las víctimas que perdieron sus propiedades y ahora se encuentran en refugios. Alentamos a todos nuestros cohermanos y Hermanas SSpS a continuar con su apoyo incondicional y atención a los necesitados. SVD Provincial House in Ruteng Pictures from TLS .

  • Caritas Australia’S Humanitarian Program Coordinator for Asia Is Available for Interview from Sydney
    MEDIA RELEASE: New emergency measures in Indonesia put most vulnerable at risk 6 July 2021 Indonesian President Joko Widodo has recently announced new emergency measures to contain the latest COVID-19 surge in the country. The populous South-East Asian nation has been reporting an average of more than 20,000 infections daily for the past week, as more infectious virus variants spread in the community and put the hospital system under strain. The measures apply only to Java and Bali, and include tighter restrictions on movement and air travel, a ban on dining in restaurants and the closure of all non-essential offices. The new emergency measures aim to reduce the pressure on a hospital system that has been pushed to the brink. Currently, 93 per cent of beds in Jakarta’s hospitals are occupied, and some emergency wards have been forced to set up tents in car parks to make space. “These new emergency measures will help reduce the spread of the virus, but we’re concerned about the impact on vulnerable communities who don’t have the means to feed themselves and their families during this health crisis,” said Fr. Fredy Rante Taruk, Director of Caritas Indonesia (KARINA). “This massive surge in cases over the past week may show that Indonesia is on the knife’s edge of a devastating health crisis, but when measures like this are in place people like street hawkers and vendors, farmers, day labourers, and drivers may suffer, because it’s harder for them to make ends meet.” “We’re finding that not only are some people losing their employment completely, but even those who are able to continue their work in rural areas, like farmers, are struggling to find people to buy their produce, so they’re also struggling to meet their basic needs.” “We’re working with local communities and the Church network to support marginalized communities to maintain their food supplies and make an income during this crisis.

  • Lessons Learned in Outback Western Australia
    Lessons learned in outback Western Australia Andrew Marshall Research, Bureau of Meteorology Introduction The Northern Australia Climate Program (NACP) is a partnership between the Queensland Government (with funding from the Drought and Climate Adaptation Program), Meat and Livestock Australia, and the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) to bring together expert climate scientists, advisors, and regional producers to deliver innovative research, development, and extension outcomes for helping the grazing industry manage drought and climate risk across northern Australia. In the last week of May 2021, I was fortunate to represent the Bureau's involvement in the research component of the project with a climate roadshow to the Gascoyne and Pilbara shires of outback Western Australia (Figure 1). The focus of the trip was to help producers find, understand, and use forecasting information through the dissemination of weather and climate knowledge relevant to their specific region. Figure 1: The Gascoyne (left) and Pilbara (right) regions of Western Australia (source: en.wikipedia.org). My role was to discuss important climate drivers and their impacts through a series of workshops held at outback stations, to enable producers to make more informed assessments of seasonal climate forecasts. Reciprocally, participants provided practical advice and feedback for improving the Bureau's delivery of forecast information for these arid regions. Alongside me were Dr Chelsea Jarvis from USQ, and two 'Climate Mates' employed by the program to liaise with pastoralists – Alys McKeough for the first half of the trip to Wyloo, and Jardine Macdonald for the second half. They organised a detailed and exciting roadshow comprising ten station visits over eight days, totalling more than 2,000 km and 27 hours of driving (Figure 2).

  • Kewatek, the Ikattextiles from Adonara
    Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 177 (2021) 62–93 bki brill.com/bki Kewatek, the Ikat Textiles from Adonara Social, Cultural, and Economic Changes Petronela Somi Kedan | orcid: 0000-0003-1825-3500 Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands [email protected] Leontine Visser | orcid: 0000-002-9180-8608 Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract Ikat textiles (kewatek) from Adonara, one of the Lesser Sunda Islands, are still seldom researched by textile specialists (Vatter 1984 [1932]; Barnes 1989). This article is the first account by a descendant from the island that builds on these studies to describe the social and cultural organization and taboos concerning ikat-dyeing and the weaving of kewatek in the twenty-first century. It also discusses recent government intervention and the actions of local ngos to sustain Adonara textile identification and to stimulate the weaving of these sarongs for economic household purposes. Keywords ikat sarongs – social-cultural change – local ngo intervention – Indonesia – Adonara Island © petronela somi kedan and leontine visser, 2021 | doi:10.1163/22134379-bja10010 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the cc by-ncDownloaded4.0 license. from Brill.com09/25/2021 02:23:13PM via free access adat cloths from adonara island, indonesia 63 1 Introduction ‘We have gathered to feed you; if we draw the wrong pattern then please correct it.’1 Weaving ikat sarongs (kewatek) in Adonara is seen not only as the creation of a new sarong, but also as an act directly related to the ‘feeding’ or the life of the island itself, and its population.

  • Raja Lorenzo II a Catholic Kingdom in the Dutch East Indies
    RESEARCH Don Lorenzo Diaz Vieira Godinho of Larantuka, Flores, became Raja on 14 September 1887 and was deposed on 1 July 1904. During his reign he was the hope of the local Jesuit mission and often the despair of colonial civil authorities. In the end, as the Dutch leached power from the rajas, Lorenzo’s reign marked the end of any pretence of independent power. Raja Lorenzo II A Catholic kingdom in the Dutch East Indies R. H. Barnes Metz did gain influence over him, but things did not turn out as expected. Civil Commissioner E. F. Kleian sent word that the local heads wished to pass over Lorenzo, who was too young to take over the urchased from the Portuguese in 1859, the small kingdom of Larantuka was one of the very few government, which had fallen into decay owing to Gaspar’s indolence. Instead, they appointed Gaspar’s PCatholic realms in the Dutch East Indies. Spread across the islands of Flores, Solor, Adonara and half-brother Dominggo (Ecoma Verstege 1877b). A shocked Father Metz wrote the Bishop that things, Lembata, it was interspersed irregularly with the holdings of five smaller Muslim kingdoms. Before the ‘definitely against my desires’, had taken a completely different course. Metz objected to the fact, as he Dutch took over, the Rajas of Larantuka regarded themselves as independent monarchs with a tributary saw it, that Dominggo was a bastard of Lorenzo I. He had confidentially told two Christians who had the relationship to the Portuguese Crown. They were surprised and appalled to be sold.
