Ang mga boluntaryo na nagpapanumbalik ng pamana ng militar

Kahit sa mahirap na panahon ng pananalapi, patuloy na nagtatrabaho ang mga boluntaryo ng New Zealand Memorial Army (NZRA) sa kanilang mga komunidad. Madalas silang nagbabayad mula sa kanilang sariling bulsa upang maibalik ang mga libingan ng mga taong naglingkod sa militar.

Ang NZRA ay aktibo mula pa noong 2018. Ibinabalik nila ang mga libingan at ibinahagi ang mga kwento ng kasaysayan ng militar ng New Zealand. Sinabi ng tagapamahala ng grupo, si Simon Strombom, na naibalik nila ang higit sa 180,000 libingan sa 250 sementeryo. Sinusuportahan din nila ang pagpapanumbalik ng libingan sa Cook Islands at Australia.

Gayunpaman, ang gawaing ito ay hindi libre. Tulad ng maraming kawanggawa, kinailangang bawasan ng NZRA ang ilan sa mga proyekto nito dahil sa mga hadlang sa pananalapi. Ang isa sa mga proyektong ito ay ang paghahanap at paglalagay ng mga bato sa mga hindi minarkahan na libingan ng mga sundalo sa buong New Zealand.

Sa ngayon, ang NZRA ay naglagay ng higit sa 90 mga bato sa mga hindi markahan na libingan. Ang bawat bato ay nagkakahalaga ng halos $1500. Ang pinakabagong bato ay para sa Sergeant Major John Marwick, isang beterano ng kampanya sa Gallipoli.

Tumatanggap ang NZRA ng suporta mula sa Veterans Affairs New Zealand, ngunit limitado ang suportang ito dahil sa mga hadlang sa pananalapi. Bilang resulta, kailangang sakupin ng NZRA ang buong gastos ng pagpapalit ng mga headstones. Sa kabila ng pagtanggap ng mga pampublikong donasyon, nakita ng kawanggawa ang 50% na pagbawas sa mga pondo ngayong taon.

Dahil dito, nagpasya ang NZRA na pansamantalang ihinto ang pagpapalit ng mga headstones. Sa halip, magtutuon sila sa pagpapanumbalik ng buong sementeryo, na maaaring gawin para sa halaga ng isa o dalawang bato ng ulo.

Sa kabila ng mga hamon na ito, patuloy na ibalik ng NZRA ang mga libingan. Hanggang sa araw ng ANZAC, nag-aayos sila ng mga kaganapan sa trabaho sa buong bansa. Kasama sa mga kaganapang ito ang mga bata sa paaralan, pamilya, NZDF Cadet Forces, at mga boluntaryo na tumutulong na mapanatili ang libu-libong

Naniniwala ang NZRA na mahalaga na ibahagi ang mga kwento ng mga taong naghubog sa kanilang mga komunidad at bansa sa nakababatang henerasyon. Mayroon din silang malakas na suporta mula sa mga nakabatang beterano at kanilang mga pamilya.

Ang New Zealand ay may mayamang kasaysayan ng mga beterano na lumahok sa mga pangunahing kaganapan sa mundo. Marami sa mga kwentong ito ay hindi kilala sa publiko, at nilalayon ng NZRA na mapanatili ang mga ito.

Mayroong tinatayang 350,000 libingan ng serbisyo sa New Zealand, marami sa mga ito ay hindi pinangalagaan. Naniniwala ang NZRA na walang sinuman na naglingkod ang dapat magkaroon ng hindi nababasa libingan sa isang hindi pinapanatili na sementeryo.
