SUMMATIVE TASK
By Ameelya/ 6D
Children Right Issue:
Ali lives in Souf Camp. It is one of six emergency camps
built in Jordan since 1948 for Palestinian refugees.
Through the years, over 1.8 million people have arrived
in the camps.
Every day, Ali works at a falafel restaurant. He fries
chickpea patties, makes sandwiches, and cleans up. He
works 8 hours a day during the school year and 12
hours a day during his summer break. While Ali works,
he can see his friends laughing as they kick a soccer
ball on the dusty streets. He wants to join them, but
cannot. Ali knows that he must work to help his family
make ends meet, because severe back and eyesight
problems prevent his father from working.
For Ali, working long hours every day means more than
having less time to play and be a teenager. Working has
also been dangerous to his health—two years ago he
nearly lost his hand when he dozed off while grinding
chickpeas. Luckily, he was rushed to the hospital and
his hand was saved.
Life for the 17,000 people living in Souf is difficult.
Job opportunities are limited and some refugees take
Analyzes of the Issue:
Who : Ali (Palestinian Refugee)
Where : Jordan
What : Child Labor
Why : He live in refugee camp where facilities are rare
and job opportunities are limited. His father got back
pain and eyesight problems, which prevent him to work.
Child labor
Ali is a Palestinian refugee (16 years old ) who work in a
restaurant in Jordan, he is one of the palistian refugee
who live in refugee camp where job opportunities are
limited and programs for young people are rare.
Ali worked for 8 hours in school day and 12 hours a day
during his summer break in the camp there are few
places to meet and socialize.
The impacts of child labor are less physically mature
that will affect the developing of our bodies and if we
are a cook we will get hurt like we accidentally chop
our finger or our hand will burn and many other
temporary jobs in neighboring farms. They pick olives
and work the land.
For the 3,400 teenagers in the camp, there are few
places to meet and socialize. So, when a project
designed to teach teenage boys and girls about
filmmaking was started at Souf Camp, the young
people there were happy. They began by brainstorming
a good topic for their film. At the end, they decided
to make a film featuring children who have to work to
support their families.
The teenagers chose Ali as the main character. Then
they wrote the script and did the filming, editing, and
translation. “We wanted to reach out, make people
living outside the camps know what our lives are like,”
says Ali.
