Refugee Camp We have fear of something. We all get struggle towards things, but we find a way to get out of it. That makes us human. My fear is when we get into refugee camp. Refugee camp and what I saw affected me and change me a lot. It change me to be patient and to be strong in hard times. First, when I entered the refugee camp, I saw tent in the desert. It was evening, and I was scared. My heart was beating very fast. “ oh my god, what is this place.” that what I said to myself. Although I was with my family, but the view was fearful.

I do not want to be weak in front of my parents and my sisters, so i was calm myself down. “ Mouna!…

Taking a walk back down my memory lanes, I remembered how I grew up in a Karen refugee camp that resides in Thailand. I was only eleven years old. My dad and I left Burma…

inside, get your books, and walk out. Sounds easy right? Now imagine you're walking to a library. It took you a while, but you finally get there. You walk into the building ,but you go down a flight of steps and walk into a room. You're there because if the library was upstairs you would probably get killed. The building you walked into was destroyed by bullets and bombs. If you think it’s hard to imagine, just think how it feels to live is Syria. In the article “Refugee Tent Camp for Syrians…
I was born and raised in Thailand refugee camp. Like most Karen families, my parents fled from Burma to Thailand to escape ethnic cleansing and the civil war. They settled in Mea Khong Kha camp in 1998, and I was born in the following year 1999.

Achebe also combines the senses of touch and smell by using a technique…
Imagine living in a refugee camp at the age of just four years old for 15 years. Growing up in a rough environment, with limited food and water it was not easy but this special man who is my dad is one of many who did stay in a refugee camp for 15 years. He had nothing but his family and god but that is all he could possibly ask for at the time. Life got difficult for him in December 1979 when the Russians invaded his home country and it was way too dangerous for him to stay. He was only four…
