Refugee Aid has had numerous projects in only a few years. Of them was our latest project, Refugee Camp Out. Refugee Aid, to create awareness of refugee situations, hosted a camp out to simulate a real life refugee experience. Several high school students came after school ended with cardboard boxes to build their own tents. We slept out side with a limited amount of water and crackers. Each student was assigned a role such as a rebel, UN peacekeep, or refugee. We picked a refugee situation to model after, the Congolese refugees, and read articles and researched their situation.
