A Box of Love for Our Brothers

KOMPAS/FRANSISKUS PATI HERIN

Volunteers carry bags of rice to be distributed to residents affected by landslides in Patallikang village, Manuju district, Gowa regency, South Sulawesi, on Friday (25/1/2019). The volunteers carried the meals up hilly terrain and along muddy roads.

Jumassang looked at the Bukit Massongko hill. Going through the muddy terrain could make the 62-year-old grandfather so exhausted. However, his enthusiasm and determination to help the other people was very strong.

On Friday on that afternoon, Jumassang began to deliver rice boxes for landslide survivors in Pattallikang village, Manuju district, Gowa regency, South Sulawesi. The rice boxes placed in plastic bags were hung on a log. He and his son Abubakar, 28, then carried the rice boxes using the logs. The side dish in the rice boxes included fried noodles and fried eggs. Other volunteers brought mineral water.
