Camp Saving Grace Bria Barnes, Savannah Heath, Abby Toms, Thomas Moore
Human Needs • When the refugees come to America, they don’t realize all the hard work that comes with living in this country. They may think it will come easy just because of what they have seen on television. Little do they know they will have a lot to learn.
Our Barriers • Getting volunteers • Teaching the refugees the complete opposite of what they’re use to • Finding a place to hold the camp • Collecting information to teach • Language/Communication
Challenge • Create a safe, fun, learning environment that will make the refugees feel comfortable about their move to America.
Team Rolls • There will be 4 volunteer groups • 1. Teaching American Sports • 2. Teaching Language/Communication Skills • 3. Teaching good health • 4. Teaching about American Food
AMERICAN SPORTS • Basketball • Football • Baseball • Soccer
LANGUAGE/COMMUNICATION • We can have different bilingual clubs and people involved with teaching the refugees English • Students who have minored or majored in a different language
HEALTH • Public Heath Majors involved with teaching the refugees good health and hygiene
FOOD • Have all volunteers of the camp to bring a home made dish of a healthy meal, and have them explain the benefits of eating healthy and not a lot of fast food.
How Our Plan Will Work • Put out flyers and ads • Have teachers assign volunteer work to students for extra credit • Get Greek Life involved • Talk to YMCA and community churches about hosting the camp in their facilities • Get college sport teams to participate and make it fun for the refugees
People It Would Involve • UNCC students/teachers • Community Churches • Local YMCA
Needs and Opportunities • The refugees will need a stable and safe environment to stay • Somewhere where they can learn as much as possible • Have people with patience that will help them • Keeping them interested and willing to try new things
Benefits • It will help the refugees get accustomed to America and it will start them off with the basics instead of just throwing them out in the streets with no help • They will be wiser • They will feel more comfortable with communicating with other Americans • They will be healthier, mentally and physically
Questions/Challenges • Will the refugees participate? • Will we get all the volunteers we need? • Will we be able to find a place to hold the camp? • Where will we put all the flyers at?
