How Can I Help?


I love having Human Geo first thing in the morning on Fridays!  Yesterday is was a little bit depressing though.  We were watching God Grew Tired of Us and the movie kept showing us how the people in Kakuma had to live.  I think it is amazing that only one out of the three boys that got to move to the United States really wanted to help his family.  Africans figure things out very quickly!  They were only in America for about two months and they found out that people aren’t nice.  One of the boys, John, has two jobs.  He works at a factory and then he goes to work at McDonald’s to flip burgers.  Panther got a job at a fancy restaurant as a waiter.  And Daniel makes about six dollars an hour by depositing checks at a bank.  When Christmas came, none of the boys understood the meaning of a Christmas tree.  The boys that live in New York went to Central Park to go ice-skating.  All but one of them were scared to try it.
