Deden Sudendi

Losing members of his family to the landslide that struck at the end of 2018 in Kampung Garehong of Sirnaresmi village in Cisolok district, Sukabumi regency, West Java, did not bury Deden Sudendi, 30, in grief. He instead decided to help others, opening his heart to find those who were killed and to unite survivors.

A cool mountain breeze blew gently as Deden stood still among the remains of his house on Tuesday afternoon (01/08/2019). Aside from recovering the wooden cabinet he had inherited from his in-laws and gathering some metal sheeting, Deden was there to recollect the memories his house held.
