<span style="color: #5ee354; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 210%;">Salwa answers: Q1. What do they have to do to get to another country saftley and legally?

Sudanese people like an people wanting to move countries must apply for a visa and a permit to enter legally. To get to another country saftley they must have sufficent funding to get to there desired country(preferably by plane) and have enough money to comfortably live and get an education.



Q2. Is the trip to another country safe?

If the sudenese people have there legal part of there trip done then arriving to there destination should be a piece of cake. Unless they travel by boat, but once again if they are travelling legually which means on a plane or legal boat they will arrive to there destination saftley.

Q3. How do they feel?

After interviewing some sudenese children who have been through this trip themselves I realised that they all have different and mixed feallings about this trip:

I am happy I moved but I miss the sea and sometimes want to go back. Ajier

I wasn't happy coming and I miss my friends back home. Achol

I was a little bit happy coming but it was hard leaving my sister behind. Aleet

<span style="color: #ff0066; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 180%;">Taylor's Questions:

Q1. What are there living conditions?

I interviewed some sudeenese girls recently and they all were certain they had running water and a well structured house. They also said that it wasn't safe there. The only time it was safe was in middle of the night. They said it wasn't safe because there were military officers were always there.

But other sudeneese people are not as lucky. There living conditions are very poor with no running water, no schooling, poor structured houses and poor sanitation. Some people don't have any medical needs for deadly and contageous diseases. For us we take everything for granted like a grain of rice which means the world to these third world kids. What about shoes, clothes, toys, movies, makeup, phones, facebook, shampoo, soap, water or anything. We get bored of these things very quickly and we throw them away whereas these kids have no chose. They would die to have these things.



<span class="rg_ctlv">

Q2. Why would they feel the need to leave?

Sudenese people would feel the need to leave because they may feel that anything is better than what they were living with. They might also feel the need to leave beacuse they may believe there are new opputunities awaiting them.

<span class="rg_ctlv">

Q3. What are opportunities are their in their home country to make a better life for themselves there?

There are not many opputunities in Sudan but the main opputunity would be one of faith. They have the opputunity to spend time with God who will give them hope, joy and happiness. Through stuggles there faith will be there and that opputunity is the best of all.

Q1. How bad were the conditions of their home country?

The condition of their home country was very bad with 17 million people who have already died of AIDS. The water in the country is all muddy and the food is all rotten and already eaten from.

<span style="color: #5ee354; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">Taylors Blog <span style="color: #5ee354; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">Friday 12th November 2010 <span style="color: #5ee354; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">This week has been full on. In our double on Friday Salwa, Katia and I completed loads of work and complted the description. We are now up to our empathy narrative and it's really fun. We just interviewed some sudeneese girls from the ciec. They helped us get a view of what it is really like in sudan. I am really enjoying this but can't wait to finish.

Sudan

Sudan is the largest country located in Africa with a population of over 40 million people. Sudan has been through a lot famine and war. It is war torn in some parts of Sudan. One place that has experienced severe war and hardship is Darfur. In 2004 the military rebelled against the villagers in Darfur killing between 200,000 to  300,000 people. As a result, people began to flee and seek refuge due to killing, lack of food, water, shelter and sanitation facilities. The smell, taste,looks and sound of Sudan in places such as Darfur are not as hygienic as our life in Australia. The water would not be clean and would taste earthy. In places were people have died due to killings there would be diseases,illnesses and the smell would be the smell of sewer and odor from unhygienic people. There houses are not very exciting. They are small huts made out of sticks and have only the earth as there foundation. The earth is sandy and there disposal place for rubbish.

In Sudan there has many issues some others being separation of  people due to religion. Many religions have persuaded the citizens to believe in many different beliefs such as Christianity, Islam, Anglo-Egyptian and Traditional beliefs. To conclude Sudan is a very poor country ravaged by famine, disease and war. <span style="color: #9c2ee6; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20pt;">Empathy Narrative:
