Refugee Camp
On Friday, the senior class went to visit a refugee camp simulation located at Balboa Park to inform us about the living conditions and the lifestyle of refugees located around the world.
Journal Prompt: Reflect on the school's water crisis and the field trip to the refugee camp run by the Doctors Without Border. QIf we could change anything in structure of the refugee camp, what would it be?
I'll have to admit that I actually believed Brian when he talked about the "water shortage" at school. However,if we are trying to conserve water shouldn't we try to conserve electricity as well? I felt that this approach wouldn't be effective, but it did raise awareness. I had no idea about how stringent we were on resources.oom.
The field trip on Friday was really interesting and informative. The hot weather also made the experience seem realistic. I had no idea that more than 42 million people are uprooted by war and conflict. I was really surprised when I saw how the refugees' food supply and living quarters were because they are the minimal basic necessities. If you look at our lifestyle compared with what our basic necessities are, we are really living a life of luxury. I think that what the organization does is sufficient enough, but they really need to improve on sanitary conditions. I know that their supply is limited, but if they improved the sanitary conditions the people would be less prone to diseases.
