<br />
Delou Ibrahim has four children and suffered the loss of nine. She has about 40 grandchildren, 16 of which live with her. <br />
"I've seen several crises. The famine in 1984 was the hardest. Rains were very weak. The stems of millet came out but the spikes gave no grain - nothing," she recalls. "Two years ago at least there were people who harvested millet, but this year the crops have been worse because of the drought and the leaf miners." Delou's last crop was 30kg, which only provided food for about two days.<br />
Delou and her family receive cash from CARE. "I get to buy cereal to feed my family, particularly my grandchildren." They have two daily meals, porridge in the morning and sorghum paste in the evening.

The Citarum river, which runs about 270 kilometers through the province of West Java, is considered to be among the world's dirtiest. Over the last twenty years, the river has been severely polluted by toxic industrial waste, trash and raw sewage. The Citarum is one of the main sources of freshwater for West Java and supplies about 80% of water for Indonesia's capital Jakarta.

  • An Indonesian man dressed up as a German Waffen-SS sergeant takes a break and smokes a cigarette during a gathering of re-enactment enthusiasts in Cibubur, East Jakarta, Indonesia.<br />
Members of the 'Niederlande Kampfgruppe' group meet regularly to re-enact battles wearing Nazi Germany military uniforms and produce their own photos and videos. They claim that they do not do this because they identify ideologically with the Nazis, but because they are interested in World War II and military history. According to them, there is historical evidence that at least one Indonesian person was part of the 'Freiwilligen Legion Niederlande', the Dutch arm of the Waffen-SS, during World War II. Similar re-enactment groups exist in several cities across Indonesia, using the uniforms of Dutch, German and Japanese troops.
