Mayor Ushab Research Paper

For the podcast, I interviewed Lina Abdulnoor, with the intention of exploring the intricacies of refugeehood by analyzing Lina’s refugee experience. Lina lived in Iraq with her family until they began receiving death threats due to their religious beliefs. Convinced that they needed to flee the country to survive, they left Iraq as refugees. After leaving Iraq, they settled in Jordan, where they waited two years until the U.N. to approve their request to move to the U.S. in 2012. Lina and her family initially settled in Virginia, where she experienced culture shock as she adapted to American culture and the English language. However, Lina did not feel accepted in Virginia; her experiences in the state led her to think that Americans treated her according to negative stereotypes of Iraqis. After living in Virginia for several months, Lina and her family chose to resettle in San Diego, California, which harbored a larger Iraqi population than Virginia did. Supported by San Diego’s Iraqi community and various refugee organizations, Lina flourished, and she currently studies at UCSD while holding a stable job.

Did you know that it’s estimated that about 50% of refugees are under the age of 18? In the autobiography, Of Beetles & Angels by Mawi Asgedom, Mawi and his siblings came to America when they were under the age of 18 fitting the statistic. The book, Of Beetles & Angels is about a young boy’s journey from a refugee camp in Sudan who then comes to America, and then finally goes to Harvard. Mawi overcomes his obstacles and builds a successful life for himself. Growing up as a refugee in America Mawi encountered the obstacles of poverty, bullying and death.

(2014). Our Refugee Crisis, Nation, pp. 4-6. The authors purpose. Was to bring the readers up to speed on the problem of unaccompanied immigrant children coming across the border seeking asylum and how complex the issue is.

The article “Children of War”, by Arthur Brice, is about several children who had to flee the war in Bosnia and immigrate to the U.S. First of all, these children’s lives before the war were comfortable. However, many kids were affected by the war in Bosnia. In the process of fleeing, these children lost their family, friends, and homes. After being a refugee in Croatia for a long period of time, some of these children were able to relocate to the U.S. Here in America, these children have a good education. Also, they have an opportunity to live a better life away from the harshness of war. Still, these kids miss their friends, family, and country that they left behind. Although these kids are living in the United States right now, they

It’s a dry day in kabul and you get in your car to go to work you see a kid walking with a bucket you have a average work day and on your way home you see the kid still with no water with a face of dedication and exhaustion.”The Plight of Afghanistan”s Child Water Carriers” text by Sayeaed Jan Sabwoon and “For Afghan Kids,Hauling Water is a Living” video Zarif Nazar are about children carrying water to help their families and neighbors survive. The author’s portrayal in”the Plight of Afghanistan’s Child Water Carriers” text and the video”For Afghan Kids, Hauling Water is a Living” has several distinct differences and similarities.

The creation of schools is one of the leading ways to produce hope and stability in refugee camps. Many would love to go to school because, currently they have no other option, but to teach themselves. Refugees can recall having great memories of their past school experiences, which they use as motivation to continue to learn. On account of my involvement with a refugee relief organization, I have been assigned the job of creating schools in the Chechen refugee camps of Chechnya. The primary means of survival and daily focus for these refugees have been through humanitarian aid. That assistance is made

Part of my intervention plan will be devoted specifically to fostering resilience in these refugee children. To do so, integrated into their school days, classes will be held to teach the children appropriate conflict resolution strategies. At this point, the

A boy from the war torn Juba, South Sudan, steps foot in, the United States on September 9, 2008. Knowing no english at all, he begins the journey of his new life. He is 8 years old and traveled with his mother, Monica; father, Run; older brother, Mayual; and sisters, Achol and Agar. We have just recently gotten an immigration scholarship that gave them the opportunity for a better life, in the United States.

To this day, we take in children from these camps, five new kids each summer, who will live, play and learn with us until they are 18 and, hopefully, graduate our program with the equivalent of U.S. high school education, ready for college here or in America. When they arrive at our doorstep, they are often malnourished, suffering skin rashes, uneducated, abused. We almost can’t take them in fast enough. It is heartbreaking to see what these pre-schoolers have already endured. That baby abandoned under a tree – whom the woman named Appoloste Knox – later suffered a fall when he was 18 months old that left him brain damaged and limping with stroke-like

Water is a very important commodity to live. Some people say it’s a right, but others at as if it’s a privilege, and as a result, people lack it. The human body is about sixty percent water, but in what I have seen just in my twenty years of life, people do not drink merely enough of it. Instead, water has been replaced as a go-to drink by things like milk, coffee, pop, or energy drinks, but natural energy lies in water. With water we can be more energized, awake, and of course, hydrated, which all together collaborate to help us flourish, stay healthy, and live long. It’s most of the earth’s surface, too; water’s all around us, but we neglect it and deny its crucial place in our health and humanity.

The UNHCR (2014) report Children on the Run highlights the dramatic rise in the number of apprehensions of unaccompanied and separated children by the US Customs and Border Protection, from 4,059 in 2011 to 10,443 in 2012, to 21,537 in 2013, and to nearly 68,541 in 2014. Most unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors arriving in the US come from three countries: El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. They were seeking protection, safety, or employment, or they were joining their families that had already migrated. (UNHCR, 2014)

” I have children in school and I want them to continue with their education here, but right now we are living in fear.We don’t know wether to go back to Somalia or to stay here. We will have to go back if we must go back”(Leithhead 3).The people in the article, for example the mom of six mentioned in the excerpt, contribute to a major part of why this article is intriguing. This is because this article manages to show an i insights of the thoughts of the people in the crisis, compared to other articles whom only show the superficial part of the crisis. With this article the reader comprehends a deep and analytical understanding of the causes and effects of the Dadaab refugee camp closing. The statement will also spark empathy to some readers and yet again help the reader understand further on the

Water is considered as an essential for human existence. We all can survive without food for some day but no one can live without water at least two days. Human body consists of 70% percent of water and our globe is covered by 69.9% percent of water. But unfortunately the useable fresh water is just 2.5% out of it. Water is a social good, water is an economic good, water has ecological value and water has religious, moral and cultural value.

The refugee crisis led to physical problems like inadequate accommodation, lack of necessities, and comfort. In addition, Psychological problems, due to trauma that has been suffered and continuing problems with day-to-day living. According to the United Nations, approximately 2 million Syrian refugees are seeking asylum in the neighboring countries of Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon and half of those refugees are children Thousands of these children were displaced in refugee camps; some of them without their parents to comfort them from the horrors of war (a1). According to Dr. Rona, exposure to

As the world grows, a demand for water grows. In places with high or increasing population rates, a need for water is crucial. The world’s water deficit is so underrated that most people do not even know about it. I find this very surprising, because water is such an important part of our lives. It provides for transportation, contributes to jobs, and is a major component of our bodies (Brown, Larsen, Fischlowitz-Roberts, 2002). Cody Lundin, a host on Dual Survival and a man known for his outrageous survival skills, lives by the “Rule of Three”, which states that people can die if they go three or more days without water (Corey, 2012).Three days without water may not seem like a lot, but water makes up approximately 65% of our bodies. As a
