How are aid workers depicted in the memoir?

• A. Aid workers are portrayed as distant helpers with limited roles
• B. They are primarily security personnel
• C. They are funded by the refugees themselves
• D. As essential providers of education, resources, and support that enable refugee families to survive and learn

Answer: (D)

Aid workers are shown as essential providers who give education, resources, and support that allow refugee families to survive and learn. In the memoir, helpers in the camp organize schooling, deliver healthcare, distribute food and supplies, and offer both practical and emotional support—making it possible for children to keep studying and for families to meet basic needs despite displacement. This portrayal emphasizes how interconnected learning and daily survival are with the ongoing, hands-on work of aid workers. The other ideas don’t fit the depiction: aid workers aren’t portrayed as distant or solely security personnel, nor are they funded by the refugees themselves; their role is to sustain education and essential services for families in the camp.
