Now it is being rebuilt at a safe distance to the sea – with the support of haNsa‑FleX. 16 HANsA-FLeX CUStomERS mAgAzIn
THe FLOOD DIsAsTer OF INDONesIA It was the third biggest seismic event ever to be recorded - and it probably cost the lives of more than 230,000 people: the seaquake that occurred off sumatra on Boxing Day 2004. At around 8 am local time the earth was shaken by a shock measuring 9.1 on the richter scale. The energy released on this date was equivalent to around half the UsA's annual energy consumption. But it was not the quake so much that did the damage, but the flood waves it caused: They ravaged the coastal regions of the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman sea and south Asia. One area that was particularly badly affected was the Indonesian province of Aceh on the island's west coast. This province also includes the village of suak Nie, which on the day the disaster struck was home to 258 people – until the moment the tsunami hit the coastline. Half of its inhabitants were killed by the gigantic wave, and all their houses were destroyed. On arriving at a refugee camp, the traumatised survivors from the village were met by miserable conditions. HYDRAULIKPRESSE 02|2009 ArD's radio Bremen and the aid organisation Terre des Hommes launched an appeal for donations immediately after the disaster to build a new village for its former inhabitants. The aim was to construct 50 little homes, which were to be mostly put up by the occupants themselves, at a cost of some 2,500 euros per house. The campaign also elicited donations from the staff at HANsA-FLeX and the company itself. The sum collected by the workforce was then doubled and rounded up by the management so that the housing project then benefited from a total of 18,000 euros. Suak Nie: HANSA-FLEX remains committed sTAGe 22 Xworld On 10 January 2009 the XWORLD Tour reached Suak Nie at around noon to � nd out how it had been getting on rebuilding the village. Result: Although a lot has happened in the meantime, there is still plenty of work to do. Thomas Armerding, who had accompanied stage 22 with colleagues from HANSA-FLEX and the XWORLD project management team, thus decided on the spot that HANSA-FLEX would continue to support the villagers. Although the village has been rebuilt by now – at a safe distance to the sea – the infrastructure has by no means been restored. Thomas Armerding: "It is particularly important to o� er people a real perspective again, which will enable the community to support itself in the long run". True to its motto "We are aware of our responsibility" HANSA-FLEX will be providing the funds in order to build up a rubber-� g plantation near Suak Nie. Rubber is an important and much demanded commodity – and not just for hydraulic hoses – which can provide a basis to the people of Suak Nie to achieve self-suf- � ciency. The project will be realised in cooperation with Terre des Hommes" and HANSA-FLEX will donate the required funds of €40.000. We will report about this project in further detail in the next issue of the Hydraulikpresse. The people of Suak Nie have been delighted by the news. Already upon their arrival the German visitors were greeted with a festive welcome and honoured with a religious ceremony for the support o� ered thus far. Now the community of 17 Suak Nie can look forward to a better future.
