God Grew Tired of Us
Today in class we continued the video "God Grew Tired of Us". Some things it told us today was that the United Nations run the refugee camps. Each member a part of the refugee camp was provided with clothes, food, and a small amount of education. They are taught math, science and all the other basic subject. We learned more about the Lost Boys of Sudan and how their lives were. If a boy was no longer in school, they would just wait their days out for their freedom to come. During today's part of the film, we saw that some of the Lost Boys were chosen to go to the United States. The United States government was going to place them in a city with a few others from their camp. The government would pay for their flight, their apartment, and all other necessities until they had a stable job and could pay the government back. Two of the boys, Panther and Daniel, were chosen to be located in Pittsburgh. Another boy named John was chosen to be placed in Syracuse. We watched them learn how to use all the lights and other electricity objects and learn the customs and food of the United States. They didn't know how or what they were eating and cooking. I can't wait to see more and watch how they adjust to the customs of living in the United States.
