Last Friday was the day of our first trip for me and my co-delegate Lemi Chris to see the North of Norway after we got an invitation to participate in the Program for the Nordland, Troms and Finnmark Red Cross Youth Camp 2009 for 3days. It was about different topics, Human trafficking, On The Run, Migration, Red Cross School and other activities. There was also another participation from of Musiime Kenneth, that nice guy, the youth delegate from Rwanda. Some new youth from different areas were participating also.
Before we go to Tromso they told us that it is very colder than Ålesund, which was (-1) at that time. And we have to prepare our self well and to bring the sleeping bags as well. So I was so worried because we were going to take part on the Role Play for the second time in that severe weather.
After we reached Tromso airport, it was slightly raining but not cold and it was nice weather. After visited Red Cross office we visited one of the nicest museums I saw. It was for the water animals and the polar bear, where we watched amazing video about thesse animal in Norway.
Then we went by the bus to Harald Vollen the place of the program. In spite of that snow was covering everything there; it was not colder than Ålesund.
It was the day of the Role Play, everything was ready.
We start our running and suffering as refugees and walked for long distance through the small forest and snow till we supported by the Red Cross rescue teams.
It is bad feeling when you are a refugee, but it is nice when you experienced and react with those who are suffering there with no food, drink, shelter and pity. If you go on thinking you may even cry.
The second day we presented tow presentations about Sudan and youth activities there then other topics presented by participants.
After the presentation we got a present, a nice T-shert. It will be in my memory for ever to remember this day after i go back to Sudan.
Actually Tromso and Haraldvollen journey was very nice, and left very nice feeling in my life and hope to visit them again soon.
Even on the way back in the bus we enjoyed ourselves with nice people we will never forget them, Hanae, Lene, Samir, Karam and more others.
Although all the lectures and discussion were in Norwegian language, which sometimes made us not satisfied but we have to accept it because this is one of our biggest challenges in Norway.
