    "12-year-old Lao Vonlai, his older sister, Dalah, and his parents are confined to an overcrowded refugee camp in Thailand in 1982 to wait for resettlement in a Western country. Food is scarce, and camp conditions are horrific, with little to sustain the family but a sense of community and dwindling hope, as months of confinement become years. Vonlai befriends an aging Lao colonel who teaches him woodcarving and determination, and he valiantly protects his sister from the ever-present danger of sexual assault." This is a piece of the article that shows the dangers of the refugee camp. A 12 year old boy is thinking about protecting his sister, and watching out for other dangers.

    This website has a plan to cure water to make it safe to drink. This is good because you don't want the people to get diseases from the dirty water. This process costs money but is worth it to keep people safe and healthy!

    "Despite the fact that access to clean drinking water is the basic human right, around one billion people living in developing countries don't have access to it,". This should be changed because clean water is needed to survive.

    "the villages of the remote areas were forced to drink contaminated drinking water but the government had installed filtration plants, ultra-filtration plants and reverse osmosis plants in these areas to ensure provision of safe and clean drinking water to the masses." This statement is good because the filtration systems can clean the water so people don't have to get sick and drink the water.

    "striving to provide access to clean drinking waters even in the remote and far-flung rural areas." This statement proves that people are finding a solution to dirty water in every place.

    This article shows that people aren't getting clean water. Developing countries aren't getting water and people state that it is a violated human right.

It is also telling how there are more and more refugees every year and h demand for food and water is increasing. It also talks about how there might be water, but its not always clean.
