What did I do during the break?
I spend my days doing community service work at church with my mom. There are more than 600 refugees at our church running away from the violence going on in Abobo.
My mom is the president of the Charity organization at church so she organized everything and I enjoyed helping her. Working with the refugees at the Church was very hard at first because I'm an emotional person. As the days passed, I got used to it.
This is a picture of me telling the refugees to make a line if they have children that are 0 to 2 years old.
I'm a little scared that school won't open again so my parents and I are looking for other schools just in case. Teachers have been sending us work to do and it has kept me very busy.
How did you feel while being at the church helping these people ?
RépondreSupprimerThis is a great post! I really like the picture, and the personal nature of the subject. It really helps people see the reality of day to day life in CI right now.
RépondreSupprimerMy suggestion this week would be to have gone even further - remember, people may not know much about this situation - why are there all of these displaced people? What is going on to cause this? What have the other media reported about it? You could link to one of these articles as you talk about it...or you could focus on your church and its work and include a link to your church's website (if they have one)....OR you could include the efforts that are being made by other agencies like the UN and link to a story of what they are doing.....
And...like Naky said, How did you feel about doing this? That's really a great question and just the kind of thing we want to hear.
Take a look at some of those sample blogs again...particularly "Liz in Cote d Ivoire" http://lizinci.blogspot.com/

They had kids that were 0 years old?
RépondreSupprimerYes, well like a few months old, not 1 year old yet.
