Dr. Luisa Guerrero, a physician with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, led our tour today of the Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City now in Prospect Park. Columbian-born, she's just back from six months of HIV work at a camp in Guatemala. I've got to run because we've got plans for a dinner with some friends that involves me eating a big bucket of vegetarian fried chicken, but all in all the refugee camp recreation is a brilliant means by which to expose folks to the feel and realities of what refugees and IDPs (internally displaced peoples -- those who flee fighting but stay within their own countries borders) experience in the camps they end up in. Made me think of what other similar exhibits might make sense. One more photo below of a typical camp vaccination tent, and a few more here.
