00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: huge amount about what is happening at the moment in

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: Ease Team More and also in Indonesia as a result

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 2: of the flooding, can you give them a little bit

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: of background.

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 3: Okay, On the ninth and tenth of April, there was

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: major infrastructure damage and disaster that actually overtake took the

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 3: whole island of Timor, West Tiamoor and East s Teamo

23
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: and East Steamer got the peripher of the cyclone Soosia

24
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 3: and he actually created a major devastation infrastructure called Landslide,

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 3: some loss of life in Timor in this steamer and

26
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 3: about thirteen thousand people have lost their homes and are

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: living in as refugees in their own.

28
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: Land, Gloria.

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: It is such a tragic situation for so many.

30
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: Do you have family and friends over there.

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: I've got my cousins and relatives. They are okay. They

32
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: managed to survive the floods. But even with floods, as

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: we know, it always causes damage and for people that

34
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: have little, you know, so it means that they have

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: to start all over again. And it's not easy, as

36
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: we know, because you know, people don't have jobs, and

37
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: we've had a year and a half of COVID, you know,

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 3: sort of creating other issues for us around the world

39
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: economically as well. So these people are still in very

40
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: very difficult circumstances.

41
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: Indeed, they really are.

42
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: And I know that from here in the Northern Territory

43
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: at the Portuguese and Timrise Social Club. You guys have

44
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: started fundraising and not just monetary fundraising, but also various donations.

45
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: Tell me a little bit about what you have done

46
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: so far.

47
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: Yes, First of all, we've been overwhelmed with this genosity

48
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: in supports from all the communities which I've been down,

49
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: which is really truly the spirit of daur And we've

50
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: had medical supplies, food, water, clothes, shoes, matters, all everything,

51
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 3: water rise from everyone. People bring us and asks what

52
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: can we donate, And it's quite overwhelming and emotional, to

53
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: be quite honest, however, we'll be because we've got so much.

54
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 3: Now we're getting into the dilemma of how to organize

55
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: it to deliver it to this DEALI is Steamer as

56
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: soon as possible, and we still need a bit of

57
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: funding because we can obviously send over to deally to

58
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: the local non government organizations to help the most needy,

59
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: but we also need help from here to deliver the

60
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: services that you know, the tim that is most needed

61
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: this time. And I do believe the Australians take pride

62
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: with their donations and they believe that they want them

63
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: delivered professionally and immediately in order to alleviate human suffering.

64
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: You know, this is all disaster appeals are all about.

65
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you start on I think people want to

66
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: make sure that everything gets over there and gets over

67
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: there safely. Am I correct in understanding that yesterday or

68
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: earlier in the week there were some veterans who had

69
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: helped out in this space exactly.

70
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 3: There was a former veteran Australian an Armed Force personnel

71
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: that had been working in Timor that shuted a flight

72
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 3: and was able to take some of our about seven

73
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: hundred kilos of medical supplies that we had organized. Unfortunately,

74
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: not everything could be put on the plane and we

75
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: had to go and bring them back to the club.

76
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: But that's life. But he was able to take that

77
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: to shatter that flight, he paid himself for it and

78
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: he was delivered to the relevant organizations and we've got

79
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: some of that and which is marvelous. It's quite you know,

80
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: very self fulfillment, fulfilling to see that things that have

81
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 3: been delivered to the right places and the right people

82
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: that are in need.

83
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: Oh, how incredible generous and important.

84
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: Yes, it is.

85
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: You know. The actual transportation that we have to have

86
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: a plan B, which will be by sea. Would the

87
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: containers only be leaving Darwin on the twenty first, It

88
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: will be about a day or two at sea, so

89
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 3: we really a bit later towards the end of the month.

90
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: There is donations from Darwin, from overwhelmed from the community

91
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 3: will be delivered to the stimary that any need.

92
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: So, Gloria, what you're after at the moment, really, if

93
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: it's in any way possible, is you are actually looking

94
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: for somebody to be able to get those goods over

95
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: there sooner rather than later. If there is able to

96
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: be a charter flight, or if there is somebody who's

97
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: able to help in some way.

98
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right, that's sort of. I mean, we have

99
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: our own plan, yep, but we've will so appreciate if

100
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: there was a shatter plane or a flight, or if

101
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 3: there was you know, yesterday I appeal to the ref

102
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: because they've got the actual mechanisms of being able to deliver.

103
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 3: It's only an hour away from Darwin, so but you know,

104
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: they can only do what they can do. We understand

105
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: the protocols, et cetera. Yeah, that will be ideal by

106
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 3: by air because air freight will get there quickly, no doubt. Yes,

107
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: I saw yesterday that those medical supplies they were went

108
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: by the shaft of flight. They would delivered immediately to

109
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: the respective in organizations in need.

110
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: Well, Gloria, we have a lot of people who listen

Speaker 2: to this show from lots of different lots of different

112
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: areas and areas of expertise. I can't guarantee anything, but

113
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: if there is anybody out there listening this morning who

114
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: is potentially able to help, if you get in contact

115
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,080

00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: maybe is able to be done. Gloria, as I understand it,

119
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: you have raised well in just three days with Territory Ands'

120
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: help and generosity, over twenty thousand dollars. Where is that

121
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: figure out at the moment.

122
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: Well, there was the initiative from Rosa Okayscaloon. She started

123
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: a go fund a target was twenty thousand and she's

124
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: actually raised thirty two thousand. Oh. You know, the funds

125
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: are amazing because they will be delivered to his steamer

126
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: once it's finalized. And you know that that help will

127
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: be amazing because there are some supplies in tim or

128
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: less as well which we can be used to also

129

Speaker 3: support those people in so much need and that's wonderful

130
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: to know as well. Yeah. Yeah, I think the donations

131
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: from down need also a little bit more support, yeah,

132
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: from the broader community at large, so that we can

133
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: deliver them immediately, because that's why we call on a

134
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: disaster appeal. Yeah, because they need it immediately, not they

135
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: don't need it in a month, that's right, They need

136
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:14,600
