100 word challenge #20

13/5/2016

Today, within class, there has been a large focus around the Unicef Day for Change 2016.

I would like you to write a diary entry about a day in the life of a child refugee. Try to focus on the surroundings and your feelings (missing home, family, friends etc.). There are no challenge words for this but remember that you have fled a war torn country and are one of the lucky ones in some respects.

I would also like you to complete work on Mathletics. Well done to you all for completing your geometry posters last week. We will be able to create a wonderful display.

Don't forget to bring a shoe box in, for Monday, for a lesson during the week.

Dear Diary,
Everyday I’m getting put to the limit by supplying water and food for my family. I live with my mum, my dad, my little brother and my older sister in an open car park. We would love to go back home but we can’t because our home has been destroyed by the bombing. We hope that no one gets sick because we officially don’t have the money to afford medical treatment. My mam and dad try their very hardest to protect us. It isn’t very safe because as I mentioned before we live in an open car park.

It was cold, dark, damp guns shots left and right bombs going off my home was destroyed so was my car the city was under attack. My parents were ok so was my grandparents they were in Scotland though. Then a massive bus came round and said "get in". As the bus was moving and the doors were open my dad jumped on and grabbed my hand he pulled me on and my mam grabbed my hand then dad pulled me back. The doors closed my dad asked the driver were we were going he didn't reply FINE THEN.

Hi, I'm Ayalana,
I'm a refuge. I normally wake up in shock but
then I remember that I'm in a refuge camp. Secondly
I awake my sister,kaya, and my ma and pa,
we try to get ready in the room we've got
but I don't like it at all because I sometimes
get lost. Next I go with pa to boil the
water for morning supper, I don't like this either as
there is things I can cut my feet on, such
as cans and plastic. Our chores are our priority
if we want money to survive, until we return back home.

Dear Diary,
Today has been very hard, first I had to boil water to drink over an open fire. I don't like this task because I always get burnt. Second I had to eat, all the food I get every day is a small stale chunk of bread and hard cheese. My brother is getting ill and we have not got enough money for a doctor so we light fires to keep him warm. Night was falling and we put out the fire and rushed into our small shelter that was the end of another ghastly day as a refugee.

dear diary,
I am very cold and I am exterimily surprised that my dad ( who doesn’t have a job ) found me a diary and a pen, he says he found it on the road underv a pile of rubbish. I am starving and I have had nothing to eat or drink for weeks. I live in a open car park with my family and hundreds more refugees. I am dissapointed that other humans don’t accept and people don’t class us as humans. We are the same but not as fortunate so we should be classed ass real humans.

Dear diary,
I’m in a new home. I have fled my country that is torn to pieces. I am 7. My name is Lima. I am alone with my baby brother- who is only 6 months old- I have to sacrifice myself for him sometimes. When we were travelling countries, it was pandemonium! Then I Lost my parents (I hope they are okay and I wish to see them again). I don’t have much food; I have to do chores for strangers with money and it is hard for me because I have to take care of my baby brother.

Dear diary,
Ever since me and my family fled from Syria it has been hard. We’ve had nowhere to sleep for the last month now, during our walk to Bulgaria. As a refugee I ‘m suffering from starvation and blisters from walking for so long. On the hard walk there we saw lots of different signs telling us where to go. Sadly I haven’t had a good enough education so I couldn’t read any of them. On the journey we would stop at the nearest bus stop and beg for food, water and money. I hope you can help us.

I’m very tired, carrying tubs and buckets of dirty water with my sister. My mam is looking for a job but she’s having no look while my dad is sat in the mud trying to make some food for us. The animals are starting to smell and beginning to catch a disease. I’m longing to go back to a normal home where no war exists, will this war ever stop? All of us living here are very hungry and on the edge of dying, my friend that i met a few-days ago is very is very ill, she can not be saved.

Dear diary,
Today, as soon as I spotted the rays of the scorching sun, I knew it was a new day. I felt so miserable thinking of my home,Syria, and how the war had changed everything. Late morning, just as I changed into my dirty t-shirt, it was time to travel to Greece! It was going to be a long journey. Now I could feel the water splashing violently onto my cold arms, I hated sailing. Afterwards, me and my little brother Henry, while sitting in the tiny boat, tried to hope for the best. A couple of days later, we were very lucky considering we were still alive however we had to stay in a freezing tent! Could it get any worse? Maybe in a few months things will start to change.

Dear diary,

When the war of Syria started, I was playing football with my friends. Suddenly we heard explosions in the distance, we could see the yellow glow of fire and then we could feel the heat caused by the fire. As soon as we saw the enemy jets we ran for our lives! When I reached home the bombing runs had stopped. The next day I did not dare to go outside. Every buildings within one hundred yards had been turned into rubble , for our safety Dad and Mam decided we had to go to another country. My family & I were now refugees.

Dear Diary,
This war has been going on for five years now and nothing is getting better. My bother Thomas has caught fluw and because there are no doctors' here he has to get all rest he can get.Unicef has the money to only supply us with clean water and food. We have Strick rules which define the facts of what children do for fun. The one rule I hate the most is never play out side! Before the war I had played out with my best friend's every day after school. My parents are becoming more and more depressed! This is a nightmare coming true!😭

Its a hot sunny day in the camp were I now live, there are tents as far as the eye can see, it is very different to were I used to live in Syria. I need to leave to go to school soon which is in the large tent three rows across it is a very strange school compared to my old one back home. I know that I am one of the lucky ones who escaped, especially as my sister escaped with me but I really do miss my mam and dad. I hope that they are safe and that they will join us really soon.

I'm John and I'm an eight year old refugee. I'm lucky in a sense nobody has been hurt or killed. I scavenge for food and materials for a shelter and clean water. If I don't there's a chance I could get Chorella.
In survive in a shambled old building that not secure to live in for someone my age. My brother Joshua and my mother also live there but we have lost connection with my father because there is no electric supply. I've been helping to clear areas of rubble with my bare hands. I feel heart broken and not like a child should being treated like this especially as I have to look out for bombs and live rounds.

Homework

Dear Diary,
I feel so scared and worried right now. I don't know what to do, I have have just been told to pack a small bag of things and I don't know what to take with me. To make things worse I only have 3 minutes to do so. Everything is difficult because we all have to leave our homes behind and I'm not sure if I'm ever going to see my home again. All us children have to leave our Dads behind too, we don't have much food and all my baby brother has seen is war. I don't want to, but I have to.

In this world there are some amazing things and places, but there is also some not so nice things and places. There is a war currently going on in Syria and that's where I live. You have probably seen on the news about child refugees, I am one of them. One of the worst things about being a child refugee is that I'm not even classed as a person, so instead I'm a number. Sad right?? I'm homeless unvalued and worthless. You are probably feeling sorry for me but there is a charity called Unicef, which is helping us refugees. They are providing supplies which we desperately need like food, warm blankets, clothes etc. So please help me and many others by donating to Unicef

Homeless, no food and no water. Waking for miles but still no safety. All I can see is lots of people and lots of mud I wear the same cloths every day and every day I get muddier and muddier. I don’t have a nice clean bath in fact I am that muddy it can affect my skin. I have lost my family I am travelling for miles to find some food and water. I feel lonely, I don’t like being homeless please help me I come from sarya.

Dear diary,

As I was walking down the streets of the refugee camp strange smells linger from the old delaptated homes ( small rooms), all what was going through my mined was why me? I do not understand why do they have to destroy worthless People's homes? Before this all happened I remember all the good times we had with my friends and family but there gone now forever, I suppose that Iam a lucky in some respect. Hopefully I would be able to go back to my home town and start a new life.

On a boiling Sunday, I went to the little but long stall to find my friend, but when I found out that she had already leff I was heart broken. She was my only friend and the only person I trusted, except my lost Mam and dad. I ran home felling empty on what to say so I burst out crying. No one was there to cheer me up so I had to go and job. My job was to clean our area up with some other kids for money. Every gram I got I got 50 cent which would buy me a bag of yucky crisps.

Dear Diary,
Dragging around my bag makes me sad… I’m lonely now. No Maya, Suki or Rio (my siblings). It’s only me and mam now – dad has passed away. I’m missing home more than anyone, the gravel floor is cold on a night unlike when I used to snuggle in my blanket with Daddy. Mam is feeling heartbroken just as much as me… loosing Dad was the worst thing that could happen to us. There are more people that I expected roaming around the streets looking for a home like me. Mam has got upset now- See you soon diary.
