Back in February, we wrote about emergency medial aid organization Doctors Without Borders planning a refugee camp exhibit in Central Park for the fall. Well, the time has come and the exhibit will open up tomorrow. "A Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City" will have an 8,000 square foot exhibit at the Cherry Hill tomorrow through Sunday, September 17.
Made up of actual materials used by MSF [Medicins Sans Frontieres- Doctors Without Borders in French] in the field, "A Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City" brings to light the day-to-day living conditions of refugees and IDPs through interactive exhibits and guided tours by experienced MSF humanitarian aid workers. Visitors explore the challenges of finding safety, food, water, and shelter —the basic elements of survival— and learn how MSF provides essential medical care and controls epidemics.
The exhibit then moves Prospect Park in Brooklyn on Wednesday, September 21 and will be be there through Sunday, September 24.
