Several Bryan High School students are battling the wind and elements Saturday, spening the night in box dwellings.

With some taped cardboard and extra blankets, the students created their homes for the night to simulate what it would be like to live in a refugee camp, particularly in Uganda.

The group plans to camp out until 7 a.m. Sunday.

"We're primarily, I think, trying to raise awareness of what it's like to live in other parts of the world, specifically in the displaced camps in the area of northern Uganda," said English teacher Miss Carrillo. "We're trying to raise awareness and let the word out, spread the word that this does exist."

The group will watch documentaries about refugees and will write letters to several senators while passing the night in their boxes.
