Students for Refugees, a Pelham Memorial High School club, hosted a refugee-simulation exercise March 19. The PMHS library was transformed into a makeshift refugee camp. Participants were welcomed to come and spend an hour at the simulation. Groups visited multiple stations to gain insight about the day-to-day struggles of being a refugee.
