Halloween
November 3rd, 2009 by Millie ParkaraLast Saturday on class hosted a safe Halloween party for our refugees to introduce them to the holiday. Our family got to try new foods, which was fun. They liked pizza, but I don’t think that they liked the apple juice very much. Our family was also super excited able the clothing that we had set out for them to take since they do not have very much winter clothing yet. I was surprised that while they seemed grateful to get out of the house, they did not want to stay out for long though. It was only an hour before they asked to go home. I was surprised by this because I would think that since they do not have many places to go a change of scenery would be really exciting, but apparently it was not. Maybe they were too overwhelmed by all the people? But even that seems confusing to me because they knew a bunch of people there that were from the same area and that they could communicate with. I am worried about them becoming the type of refugees that get afraid to go out and shut themselves in their house. If they are afraid to go out, they will never be able to make it in this new land. I want to make sure that they do not fall into this trap, but I am not quite sure how to help them get over this fear.
