REMEMBER THE RULES?
The Campaign, which is governed by the below mentioned rules, is fairly simple:
1. Have no income.
2. Have no food or drinks (unless through direct donations).
3. Have only a pillow and a sleeping bag
4. Have no access to showers, or facilities to which their student status would usually grant them access.
5. Sleep outside.
6. Attend all classes.
7. Avoid personal communication mediums (cellphones, laptops, tablets etc.).
8. Write about their experiences (and post them up here).
*Note: While the objective of the campaign is to raise awareness for the Dubai Women and Children Shelter by staying on campus, that is not the only way you can help.
YOU can help as well by making donations and by supporting the participants.
Back Again
"Homeless again in almost a week" , that is what I am telling my family and friends. It is an odd thing to say, especially with excitement. I participated last year and found that as tiring as it is and as humiliating as it gets at points, in fact it is very rewarding on an individual level and on a social level. It is one of those odd ways of making a change in the world. I wont make this post long, I would just like to state that we have more participants this year than the last which means we made a change and I just hope we get more support so we would be able to help those in need. After all we might not be the cause of their troubles, but we could still be part of the solution.
