Friendship Guesthouse and Restaurant was built in 2007 and was completely washed away by a massive flood of the Alas River on 27th November 2025. The complete area of about 5000 m² with 8 bungalows, a large restaurant, a swimming pool and the private house vanished within few hours. The complete land disappeared. The basis of Ahmad's and his families live and income does not exist anymore. A reconstruction at the same place is impossible, because  the Alas river have taken over this part of land.
His son ask Ahmad: "Dad, are we poor people now?" He answered: "Yes my son, we are very poor, because there is nothing left of our property and our source of income. But we have a family and many friends who will help us to change this situation to a better life again."
The links above can be used to donate and support Ahmad and his family. We are shocked and very sad, but life is going on and we look into the future and see a NEW FRIENDSHIP GUESTHOUSE opening in that area in a few years.
