This theme addresses works of mercy. Answer the following questions with a partner -
What is the difference between a refugee and an internally displaced person? Locate refugee camp locations on a world map. Identify some of the political organizations both nationally and internationally that offer humanitarian aid. You and your partner are to write a letter to the head of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) sharing that you talked about works of mercy in your religion class and after exploring a virtual tour of the refugee camp you just wanted to express your hope that Canada through this agency was doing everything humanly possible to assist these people.
