Friday Reflection

In our journal's, we were assigned to write a reflection on the water crisis we had at school and about the field trip we went to on Friday at the refugee camps

What struck me the most about the water shut off we had at school was that we couldn't use the bathroom so we needed to walk a long way in order to go to the bathroom. I couldn't imagine to hold it for a long time. But mostly it made me think of all the people in the world who don't have water to drink or even use like take a shower or to wash their clothes. It also made me think of other schools around the world that might not have bathrooms to use and we do. It made me feel sad and scared. I got a little scared because I thought that one day we will all run out of water and wouldn't have anything to drink. We nee to take care of our water more.

What struck me on the field trip to the refugee camp was to see how how many people are suffering from hunger and horrible diseases. Also that on every checkpoint where families cross, the guards will take anything they care about like their children and food. That was really sad to hear, imagine yourself crossing the checkpoint and they take your family away from you. Another thing was how 8 year old kids will carry with them like 3 - 5 gallons of water and walk for 8 miles or where they live.

The Doctors With Out Borders did a great job structuring the refugee camp. I think they did a great structure that I don't know what they should change. But maybe they should change the bathrooms and make them more secured. They should be more secured so that woman won't get raped while their doing the bathroom. They should have more security around the refugee camps with guards that are trust worthy and won't hurt or harm the women in the camps.
