Case Study: Part 1 Elizabeth Lee

Clear and Narrow Topic: The US is a great place to live, with major economic growth and it’s also a developed country. Yet, the great number of refugees in the US, is creating an economic unbalance. Many refugees suffer from lack of shelter, food, water, and protection.

1. Organization: USCRI (www. refugees.org) 2. This Organization helps refugees find homes and sustainable jobs. It also helps immigrant orphans find care and give assistance to those who are fleeing from persecution. 3. I like how the organization is not just giving the refugees money. “Do not just give a hungry man a fish, but teach him how to fish”. USCRI is allowing them to contribute to the society instead of being a drag. 4. Yes. Do you focus on any particular country’s refugees, or the whole world? Where does the donation money go? What kind of jobs do you give the refugees? After you resettle a refugee family, do you still keep track of their wellbeing? 5. I can donate money for the cause or volunteer as a person who researches available jobs for the refugees.

Maryam: (part two) http://www.betterfactories.org/ILO/default.aspx?z=1&c=1 What is the organization? Better Factories Cambodia (works with the ILO) What exactly are they doing to try and combat or change your issue? Better working conditions for garment factories, including trying to prevent child labor They are holding programs that help the factories have better conditions for the workers What are some of the things you like about their program? They have a very specific focus (garment factories), they are very clear about what they want to achieve, and are very organized.Although they can't force anyone to do anything, they are still determined to try their best What are some questions you have about it? All my questions were covered in the FAQ!! How could you become involved with this organization or model your action plan after it? Work with them or do similar things, except maybe in China. We could also raise money to support them.

International migration and labor laws are a drastic problem. It causes lack of economic growth and injustice. For example, in the US there are lots of refugees creating a huge economic unbalance. Those refugees have a hard time finding food, shelter, water and protection. This can lead to child labor, a form of illegal labor that forces underage children to work instead of pursuing their education. The organization " USCRI" (www.refugees.org) is an organization that helps these refugees. Not only do they give them money, they teach them how to get a job and contribute to society. The organization "Better Factories Cambodia" helps people gain better jobs, change people's working conditions and is trying to prevent child labor.
