The Cost of Life
There is a neat little game at costlife.org called Ayit(*): The Cost of Life that is an interactive game in which you try to keep a family of 5 in Haiti healthy, wealthy and wise. The game teaches you a little about poverty and a little about survival in a a third world country. After playing it for several hours, I only managed to keep the family alive once, with only just enough money to send one person to school…
Definitely informative, and fun to play, but at the same time it’s kind of depressing when it’s so difficult achieve life-goals that we take for granted.
