A million miles from Climate Change
The reality of a refugee camp hit us as soon as we woke up in the Samara camp after our 2am arrival. Dusty, brown mud huts, a quasi-permanent home for these last 25 years for the local people, the nearest water well 12 miles away, nothing sustaining life apart from human spirit. For all the hardships, the people are wonderfully warm and hospitable, and get on with life with little fuss. I guess they have no choice. Yet our EarthFireIce campaign sems a very long way away, climate change plays no part in the local list of priorities.
