After many eruptions from the Mount Sinabung volcano, over the past few years, the surrounding area has many abandoned homes and buildings including this church. Thousands were forced to evacuate their homes in June of 2015, when yet another eruption occurred. Living in the slopes surrounding Mount Sinabung has proven to be hazardous. Villagers have had to abandon everything -- not just their homes, but also their livelihood and move to refugee camps. Despite all the eruptions and hazardous living conditions, many will still return to their village with determination to regain their life.
