THURSDAY
  1. You will begin work on your Refugee Camp Project. 
  2. Today, you are responsible for beginning your work on the Refugee Camp Project. Look at the directions. For tomorrow, you are responsible for: 1. Location: Where is your refugee camp going to be? Look around at the various refugee camp locations around the world and choose one (Refugee numbers, Refugee camps, Refugee locations). Choose a location that houses a high number of refugees or internally displaced peoples (Kenya, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Burma, Thailand, Ethiopia, Mauritania, Gaza Strip, Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania, India). Once you choose a location, you'll have to describe the geography and climate of that area, because this will impact the needs of your refugee camp. You also must take into consideration the religion and ethnicity of your refugees (a camp of Christians might look different from a camp of Muslims, for instance). Your aid organization: Include the international aid organization that you built the brochure for. How does this organization help at the refugee camp?, the 10Cs: Explain how at least 5 of the 10Cs are addressed at the refugee camp—be specific, and what you feel is the greatest importance for your refugee camp explained (with specific examples). March 18, 2016 (10 points). This should be typed in Notability and ready to be presented.
