Kia Ora Everyone!
Welcome back to my blog, Today I am sharing my little made up story about life in a Refugee Camp in South Sudan.
Life living in a Refugee Camp in South Sudan
I am a girl who lives in South Sudan, I am living in a refugee camp which is full of people all ages from babies to adults. In our tents we have a very cramped space and it is very dark.
We have to walk to get our water because we do not have much water at all. To wash we have to pour water on our bodies to keep us clean. I like to help providing water and food for my family but it is very hard to get water, I have to buy it with my money and I don’t have very much. To get our water we have to swing on a lever to make the water pour out into a bucket, then I have to carry it on my head back to home to be safe.
To get food we could either go to markets and buy food or walk around looking for wild berries. We do not have much money so we don’t go to markets often.
For our entertainment we can play games like knucklebones - That one is my favourite! My friends and I play together everyday, I always win but the best part is that I get to play with my friends!
The hardest challenges in my life is probably not having much food or water. Here’s the disgusting part, we have to squat over a hole in the ground to do our business so I’m saying our toilet is a hole in the ground.
In my camp we have a little area for a tiny weeny school, it has a small cover to block the sun from our body.
