Moving to a refugee camp from your home was a tough thing to do. Moving between camps was even tougher. However, the toughest thing actually had to be to live in a refugee camp. The conditions in theses camps were unbearable and make it difficult to make it from one day to the next. Most Nuer found this to be such a challenge of their daily lives, yet they knew that there were better days to come and tried their best to make it through these horrible camp conditions. It was not just 100 Nuer at each camp…
MSTT was able to get Nelson's phone number and reached out to him regarding meeting for a session. Nelson did not want to meet for a session, but he did speak to MSTT over the phone. Nelson explained he does not have a big role in Jose's life at this time because Juminia will not allow it. He explained she has a lot of issues with him and this last issue has made things worse between them. Nelson explained recently, he found out while he was in jail Juminia put the family internet in his name. He was receiving bills at his new home so he shut it off because he is not living in the home. This caused more of a conflict between them. When it comes to Jose Nelson is on the list of people who Jose can be with while on probation but one of his co-defenders…
What makes Nora Rodriguez a hero is that she helps Central American immigrants become mexican citizens and will do anything to help her clients. In the article "Honduran Entrepeneur helps Central American Immigrants gain Legal Status in Mexico" by Mayela Sanchez states that " The immigration office only gives applicants a list of required documents but doesn't advice them how to fulfill the requirments." The evidence shows that Nora helps Central American immigrants fill out there papers to fulfill all the requirements without the form telling them how to. I can relate this to another hero that stood up for what was right. His name is Cesar Chavez. He stood up for farmworkers who were working all day. He stood up for them and never stopped…

Last Summer, I visited Costa Rica on a kayaking trip with Falling Creek, a summer camp in Tuxedo, NC. Every year, 20 or so kids get invited to the program called HUCK, where you go kayaking in places around the world. Last summer, all of the kids that were invited went to Costa Rica where we would have a great time experiencing new culture and great whitewater. The First few days were great and those were some of the most powerful, best rivers I have ever kayaked.…
The line sounded rehearsed, as if he had spoken these words multiple times a day for many years. His glossy brown eyes penetrated my startled blue ones for as long as I let them until I turned away. His dirtied innocent face was one that came straight out of a UNICEF commercial, the sort that caught you off guard during a commercial break of your favorite TV show. Wistful faces of impoverished children flick before your eyes as a concerned voice insists that if you donate your unused pocket change every month, you could support the life of this poor boy.…
Imagine starting a race twenty minutes after the other participant, this gives them a head start hence lowering your chances to vanquish your opponents in the race. This example applies to real-life issues like the people born in high and stable economic situations. Their probability to succeed in life is higher than those indigenous from third-world countries. Panama faces this problem and I have no doubt a change can be achieved and I can be the one who does it because everyone deserves the chance to succeed if they try hard. During last year, I had the chance to be elected as coach and teach a group of teenage boys, the fundamentals of soccer; what I did not realize was that this experience was going to change me completely.…
I would like to say I know Spanish, after four years of studying in high school and multiple trips to South and Central America, yet it seems every time I leave the States, I find myself in a frantic struggle to process the words I know and figure out the meanings of the ones I do not. Sometimes this simply means missing out on a few insignificant details, other times it can seriously complicate life.…
