(Clearwisdom.net) About 800 volcano refugees stay in a shelter in Hargobinangun, in suburban Yogyakarta, Jogia, Indonesia. Most of them are from farming families. Unwilling to leave their property and livestock behind, young people and their families wanted to stay, but a refugee said the government urged them to evacuate with the situation of the Merapi Volcano getting worse and worse. So they came to this shelter.
Falun Gong practitioners teach refugees Falun Gong exercises
Since a Falun Gong practitioner from Yogyakarta first introduced Falun Gong to the refugees, there have been three Falun Gong class sessions every week at the Hargobinangun Shelter. "Good fortune grew out of adversity" for the refugees.
The Township leaders of Hargobinangun were very supportive of the activity. Because of the conditions at the shelter, many refugees had come down with upper respiratory infections, headaches, stomachaches and depression. The Township Head said Falun Gong had improved the refugees' health and eliminated their anxieties.
