refugees

In our World History class we had been studying about Syria´s conflict. We read an article of Alice Su called “How do You Rank Refugees?” In this article she talks about the treatments of the Sudanese and Syrian refugees. The treatment was not good, and they have to survive a long period of time with not much food and with families of minimum 5, and with a hard treatment is hard for them.

Two years ago I lived or well my family lives an experience of a refugee, were they hide him and help him. His story starts when he decides to leave Cuba for a better opportunity. He went to Venezuela looking for help he founded, but he was not secure and he was persecuted. He decides to leave Venezuela and came to Colombia. When he was in the way to Colombia the bus driver saw a military stop so he advertise him and help him hide. Finally he made it to Bogotá were my aunt help him. He don´t have documents, but he wants and opportunity he is a medic, but he can´t perform his career. He was scared but he went to the US embassy, after a month he receives papers and the license to go and work and continue studying in the United States.  

It was easy for him because he had a professional degree. But for refugees that have no opportunity to escape from where they are being persecuted or threatened is difficult.
