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?
