Dream Child Refugee
After a grueling journey, Mohammed's family finally reached the Al-Azraq camp. The fear and hardship of the journey could be seen in their eyes; they were not used to the conditions they now faced. Mohammed's grandmother was suffering from high blood pressure, which made the conditions of the camp almost unbearable, with the scorching heat of the desert summer and the lack of electricity.
Mohammed felt deep empathy for his grandmother and wondered what he could do to alleviate her suffering.
Mohammed decided to create a fan to protect his grandmother from the extreme heat and ease her pain. He headed toward the garbage disposal area of the camp and gathered some of the scrap materials he found there to make simple tools that could help save the person dearest to him. He spent days planning and creating the fan, withstanding all the challenges and harsh circumstances that surrounded him and his family. Now, he only needed to find a source of power to operate it, since the camp had no electricity. He started searching for the ideal battery.
Finally, Mohammed found a toy that had been tossed away that contained a battery. He tested it on the fan and, to his delight, it worked perfectly! His heart could barely contain his joy and sense of achievement. Thanks to his perseverance and determination, he was able to make his dream a reality, and the fan worked perfectly.
 Mohammed also used his talent to help the rest of his family. His father was suffering from severe back pain and had asked other family members to take over the water collection chore, as he was no longer able to carry heavy water containers. The family's tent was far from the water collection point and the camp's supermarket, so Mohammed used his problem-solving abilities to come up with an alternative method of transporting water. He gathered scrap metal from around the camp and assembled it into a small trolley that enabled the family to carry larger quantities of water with much less physical exertion.
Through his innovation, Mohammed was able to help out his entire family. With a little support and funding, his innovations could be extended to others who are trying to survive in the refugee camps. |
