One of my favorite websites

Facing History is one of my favorite websites. I have taken online classes from them and I have used their resources in my classroom. Here is a post about the refugeeshttp://facingtoday.facinghistory.org/refugee-crisis-in-europe?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=21884134&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8kvi3P-_YbUpMaJwXX3G131dkTVfGY9j7BOopN1Qt-Ar_uY4-Pkm1EvOqF-PvEkX85iua3mHMA2bMwiNTMfBcsupLQD0pFShGOvht5vvG9ihqHsNs&_hsmi=21884134

Why I worry about Ericka

September 7, 2016
Hey everyone, just got off a 24 hr shift with a 1 hr break. Im fine, there was a bit of a riot. Police intentionally served pork sandwiches to a Muslim crowd. My charger broke so I'm going to be saving my energy until I can get it replaced so don't worry if you don't here from me for a bit, love you all!

As we should know, Muslim's, along with Jews, do not eat pork of any kind. It looks like the government of Hungary is overtly looking to get Syrian refugees out of Hungary. 

 

The travails of travel

Ericka's charger is broken so posts will be limited for the time being. I was beginning to worry about her. She messaged me to let me know who she is working with: "MigSzol Szeged,

 translation migrant solidarity Sveged. Broke my charger and its my life line so I'll be off line for a little bit!"

Germany helps

With calls for the nations of Europe, the U.S. and Canada to help, there come calls for the Middle East to do its part. I posted earlier today of a refugee camp in Jordan, Syria has been in a Civil War for some time and it is only now that we are up in arms. We must all help, do what we can.
