World Vision has just held it's annual 40 hour Famine, this year shedding light on the situation of refugee families. "Leaving home is the last resort for refugee families. When political unrest, persecution or armed conflict make normal life impossible, people flee because they fear for their lives. The situation in Syria is complex but the issue we can engage with right now is the refugee crisis."
For each of the following tasks you must comment on your own blog using lists or comments about your discoveries. You're tasks are as follows:
1. What would you pack? Identify items you would take with you if you were forced to leave your home suddenly and didn't know when (or if) you would be back. The items must be able to fit into your school bag. Make sure you list the items you would take on your blog.
2. Compare what items you've packed against the items packed by the interviewed refugees and migrants arriving in Greece. Most are from Syria and they show photos of what they packed in their bag. https://medium.com/uprooted/
Make sure you write the items you were surprised about, forgot to pack or what items were similar on your blog.
3. In the news. Find a headline or news item from newspapers, websites, radio and TV about refugee situations around the world today. Give the link on your blog and write a brief summary about what the article is about.
4. What is a refugee? Write a definition of what a refugee is in your own words
