Commonplace

Write down a thought before it disappears.

Some thoughts arrive quietly. They do not ask to be remembered, yet for a brief moment, they make the world feel different. Then time moves, another thought takes its place, and what once felt important becomes impossible to recall.

Perhaps that is why we write.

Beneath the Shadow of Landslides

Since 2012, at least one landslide has been recorded every year in Cibunian Village, Bogor Regency. These hydro-meteorological disasters not only damage infrastructure but also threaten community safety, income stability, and access to education. Addressing these risks requires collective efforts through well-planned, sustainable adaptation and mitigation measures that actively involve the community.
