By Taariq Tucker, Bermuda, on an experience doing Community Impact Work
My first CI (community impact) was great. I learned the definition of a refugee and how you qualify the process that they go through to be placed in a certain country. Also if a refugee is placed in America they are put in certain parts because they have family there or a skill that is thriving in that state. I also discovered that refugees can have

very nice houses and a lot of them have to adjust to having things given to them and they don’t just have to take. Something I haven’t mentioned is that on CI I also packed and delivered christmas gifts and food to give to refugees.
Also I took a tour of the Denver Rescue Mission where homeless people have a number of medical treatments offered to them including acupuncture. The Denver Rescue Mission has 200 beds and 100 bunk beds in their facility plus some beds are left for men in a work program were they can have a 7 day bed for part time workers or a 30 day bed for full time workers.
I learned so much today.
