Refugee arrival?

Mark it off on your lawn. A mock boat nine feet long by, maybe, four feet wide, narrow at one end. Flat bottomed, with a 24-inch freeboard. Add some packages of nuts and water, a few oars and a scruffy sail. Oh, yes, and a dog.

Now have 12 of your friends stand or sit in that area and leave them there for six days and five nights. I believe it can be done. I also believe in the Tooth Fairy and World Peace.
