Worker Story continued Part 4

So my partner and I are still on the story about worker's living conditions. Yesterday we followed one of the buses to al-Hay al-'Ashir, where the camp is located.

We weren't quite sure what we were going to do with the location information once we got it. We didn't plan on entering the camps (it's too dangerous for a woman, even I'll admit that), and we couldnt send another camera in. So we figured if we know where it at least we'll have a starting point.

The camp is not really a camp. It's more an unfinished building. The workers are let off at the corner of a street, and forced to walk over hills, and jump holes to get home. There are no lights, and no roads. The building is a brick structure without windows and doors. I can't imagine the have plumbing and electricity since we didn't see any wires around. It was pitch black though, so I'm not sure. All in all the walk to the camps seemed bad enough, and is indicative of the standard of living inside the "camp".

My professor told me "the sign of a good editor is one who knows when to hold off on a story." I talked to Reham about that on our way back from the camp. It was dangerous in there. Is it worth getting hurt?

"The thing is Samcrete is going to do this to other people after the AUC project is done," said Reham. "Maybe if we do this story gets published Sami Saad won't be able to do this kind of thing to workers again."
