So appreciate that I had the opportunity to participate UNESCO Chair Summer
Program. This is really a great and significant summer program, only two weeks
I gained lots of knowledge about disasters and made many friends from all overthe world. Thanks to this program, my personal ability has been promoted. How tofigure out the problems of gender and vulnerable people after the disaster, how tomake a fast response and an effective support program for victims. All of those will
be a big help in my future career.
At the first week, we had useful and wonderful lectures from the professors from
Malaysia, Taiwan，Indonesia, and Japan. We also had discussions after listening
lectures. All of us shared our opinions and give new ideas for the reductions thediasters damages. In addition, how to connect all the sources (like government
support, NGO support)to help the victims in time is really an important thing thatshould be considered. Our professors also mentioned the significant part to curethe trauma is think more for the vulnerable people. The vulnerable people are not
only included kids, pregnant women, elders but also involved who feel weak andneed help or without good mental health conditions. Gender is also a serious topic
during our discussion. Gender equality is the state of equal ease of access toresources and opportunities regardless of gender, including economic participationand decision-making. Gender equality is more than equal representation, it isstrongly tied to women’s rights, and often requires policy changes. UNICEF says
gender equality means that women and men, and girls and boys, enjoy the samerights, resources, opportunities, and protections. It does not require that girls andboys, or women and men, be the same, or that they are treated exactly alike.
Before our summer program, I never think about how to take the gender problems
into consideration during my response to the nursing care or research plans. Ourlectures gave me a lot of new views and inspirations. Also, follow our professors, Iknew the connection between government support and international support
when the disaster happened. The right way to figure out different kind of disasterdamages.
The second week we started our field study with by groups. The field study focusedon the Gunung Merapi which is an active stratovolcano located on the border
between Central Java and Yogyakarta provinces, Indonesia. The first day wevisited the BPBD(Sleman district management center), from the interview of thestaffs in the BPBD, we got very useful information about how to make a fast andeffective response when the eruption happened. Our group took our own area taskthat we tried our best to make a clear map for disaster management. The nextdays we went to the Merapi volcano museum and coastal area. The early warning
system always plays an important role when the disaster happened. To do someinterviews with the victims is the most impressive part of our field trips. Thanks tothe professors and students from Indonesia, we can have a good conversation withvictims without language problems. During the last days, we used what we got
from our field studies to complete our tasks.

Actually, this summer program adds much to my knowledge and helps me to gain
the required experience to complete my research study in a professional way.
Finally, I am greatly indebted to the UNESCO Chair organization and ourmembers for supporting and encouraging me during this summer to participate inthis amazing summer program.
