I've lived in Australia since 1959 together with my husband Peter. We have four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I started blogging because I wanted to publish some of my childhood memories. I am blogging now also some of my other memories. I like to publish some photos too as well as a little bit of a diary from the present time. Occasionally I publish a story with a bit of fiction in it. Peter, my husband, is publishing some of his stories under berlioz1935.wordpress.com

This is so wonderful and heartwarming. Thank you so much for sharing Aunty Uta! ❤
I think so too, Munira, it is heart warming to see that some people try to do their best to give refugees what you could call “a perfect camp”.
On the other hand what is mind boggling and frustrating is that there are such a huge number of people who have to flee their homeland because of wars, violence and dispossession.
Thank you so much, dear Munira, for your comment.
That is a mind opening look into a modern well run refugee camp, I can see why the refugees can be termed Guests.
It is virtually the making of what we would call, a suburb.
A lot there that maybe our government could learn from with assistance from the UN

Thanks for commenting, Ian. In my humble opinion if we could convince our government to treat our ‘guests’ as humanely as this, it would probably cost less than what it costs us now to treat them quite horribly in some off shore camps. The problem of course is, and this is a world wide problem!!, that most of the so called ‘guests’ are not likely to be able to be resettled in their home countries some time soon. Most refugees living in camps have to wait at least five years, some maybe ten years, to be resettled anywhere. What sort of a life is this? However to treat them worse than criminals, how can this be right?
