2 Year 9 Homelessness Camp The Year 9 Homelessness camp really opened my eyes to what homelessness is like, not only in Orange but on a global level. We had to buy food for two days and it was quite hard to find good wholesome food to feed a family cheaply. This camp challenged us mentally as well as physically and we have been able to realise how blessed we are to have homes. - Sophie The homeless camp was a worthwhile event. We spent the night sleeping on the ground. It was a difficult night - many of us struggled to sleep - but it was an eye-opener to have a small experience of the life of a homeless person. - Felicity. This camp was a good experience to have. Some things that I learnt were to use your money wisely and that lots of people are homless. - Matt Going to Woolworths to buy your own food was a fun challenge. It was interesting hearing some of the experiences that the people at Salvation army had faced. It was fun sleeping outside. - Caleb I learned that it would be hard to be homeless because we still had access to things like boiled water, clean toilets, sleeping bags, friends and gym mats, which most would not have on the streets. - Ezra
