The Syrian Camps, how we could help

The Camps And How We Could Help

The camps are places full of struggle: a woman left wondering what happened to her husband, a man living with the guilt of leaving someone behind, a child that will never stop crying.

What does that make you feel? Anger towards those that forced the families to flee from the war? Sorrow to the children whose lives disappeared at the impact of a bullet? Or maybe this will just be seen as another charity based spill out on to the internet. It doesn't matter. It doesn't  make it any less true, the anger and the sorrow is still there.

The point of all of this I'm going to detail on the other hand is simple "what can we do to help?" We have the capability to feel all of this when we see a photo, a video, an article in the newspaper. Yet we do not have the capability to put those feelings in to action towards where they matter, their lives. The conditions that people live under in the camps are ridiculously sub-standard, for example...

Their houses are made from canvas, their bathrooms are made of plastic and chemicals and their shops are nothing more than sticks and tarpaulin. Refugees need far more resources to help their lives and one day to help them be reintroduced into Syria once the conflict is over. The camps need willing volunteers for the charity UNICEF to help those who want to live and lead as full of a life as possible.

This maybe a short post but I only did this to raise some thoughts for everyone, think about what we could do to help them. :)
