EATING LIKE A REFUGEE FOR ONE WEEK –Australians Created Fund Raiser that challenged people to think about Refugee Issues and gain some understanding what it is really like. The idea was to tell people to eat like Refugee for One Week. It was a Brilliant Idea and they raised enough to Feed Refugees for One year in one Camp .
This Campaign had huge impact on People on a personal level. They realized how fortunate they are to be able to eat every day and have a full belly. We take these kinds of things for granted -but in real life situations – the Urban Refugees never know if there will be food next day. That is their reality.
The Idea of the Australian Challenge was that for one week, you’ll eat the same rations as a Refugee living in a Camp. They were given rations that included a one-week supply of exactly the same food and quantities —as most people get in Refugee Camp .
From the the moment they wake up on the Sunday, to when they go to bed on the following Saturday, they drink only water and eat Rice every day 3 x / day with lentils or Chickpeas etc.
Whatever you ration box gives you and you make do until the week is over.

One Week of Eating like Refugee had a huge impact on People.Most people said they were surprised by the Physical and Emotional Impact this way of Eating had on them. They felt tired, sluggish and depressed and hungry the whole week. They said their brain felt fuzzy and confused. Lack of food can do that to you and if Refugees live like that for 10 -30 years Imagine what it does to them .
