KUWAIT: Dhani Putri Dwi Kusuma, in her early thirties, watches the news of the disaster-stricken area of her native Indonesia in despair. Her family lives under the slopes of Mount Merapi where the Mount Merapi volcano has reportedly killed more than 40 people. A nurse working in Kuwait, Dwi Kusuma says that her family was spared because they immediately moved to the city of Java following the news of the volcano's imminent eruption in early October. "Scientists monitoring the volcano advised people living there to move away so we listened to them and moved to the city of Java," she said. "My family was spared but I have some relatives and friends there who died.
Dwi Kusuma is one of the thousands of Indonesians living in Kuwait who recently responded to a donation drive for the victims of the two disasters that struck Indonesia recently. The 2 disasters have reportedly killed more than 500 people, most of them victims of the tsunami.
