Vulnerable population in Ghana

There was 13 years of civil war in Liberia from 1990 to 2003; the country suffered an enormous amount of death and disability. It killed more than 200,000 people and about 500,000 people were forced to leave their homes and became internally displaced refugees who had to flee to other countries. The UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) who is in charge of protecting the rights of refugees reported 42, 000 Liberians lived in Bujumbura Refugee Camp in neighboring Ghana, including 18,000 children and over 4,000 of these children were born in the camp. Their human rights were violated and they had to live their entire lives as refugees. Some of the refugees arrived in boats, canoes, helicopters and a few on cars. I remember watching the news with constant casualties and young children holding guns on the news in Liberia. One of my Liberian friend mentioned that another way to survive was to join the rebels and fight for that particular group, in that sense they could be able to arm and protect themselves. As he mentioned, it was just another way to survive. Perch my Liberian friend suffered cuts and a gunshot in his arm. Even though he is married to a Ghanaian woman, with two beautiful children, he still suffers some sort of mental health problem. It is possible that, his initial plan wasn’t to work as a car mechanic and settle in Ghana but due to the situation he found himself changing his career, just to make the best out of his stay in Ghana. The vulnerable population such as the Liberian refugee suffered mentally and psychologically from the war in their country. To enable the Liberian refugees who settled in the Bujumbura Refugee Camp in Ghana, they created the Liberian Dance Troupe project which used theatre and dance help them remember and maintain Liberian culture, to teach the youth within the camp about HIV/AIDS, teen pregnancy and drug abuse. Adult leaders were able to train over 100 children and youth in theatre, the arts, oral and written literature, dance and music. Youth who receive cultural training carried out weekly cultural training seminars in primary schools located in the camp which have provided support to over 1000 children. This project has also enhanced the literacy skills of young members of the Liberian dancing troops and supports their psychosocial rehabilitation. All these activities were used to raise awareness about important health and social issues. The youth were encouraged to participate in this project to build their self-confidence, acquire d dignity and develop renewed sense of identity and to continue with their way of life in Ghana.

From the link given, I 'm surprises and horrified by the picture with the two dead people and the two people sitting by the beach enjoying the breeze. How can they just sit there and not call for help or do something? It’s interesting to see how these dead bodies are covered with towels and to see how normal it is for the others around. Is it because they are used to such a problem or what?
