A typical Day

A typical day at a refugee camp

  • Refugees don't have much to do in Camps
  • Men & women sit and watch their children play others stare out across the isolated surrounding
  • Many refugees wait to register at the entrance of the refugee camp
  • Many pass their time by talking about their previous homes and what they went through
  • Others busy themselves with daily tasks; carrying buckets of water back and forth from the large tanks dotted around the camp, sweeping out the dust from their tents, or pinning out the few clothes they have on the strings which snake between the thousands of tents and prefabricated units.

In whatever situation humans go through and what ever resources they  are provided, life goes on and people adapt. The Syrian refugee Camp which is a couple of months old in relation to the thirty year old camp in Thailand share one thing; the continuity of life and the adaptation to whats new
