  4. While playing this game I learned...

    - When you are going to get water for your village you are risking your life.
    - You need to make sure that everyone has enough food and water but in order to get food you need to use the water
    - Also, you need to make sure that every one is healthy and can get help when they need it but medical supplies only come every few days.

    3)And in Darfur it's hard to get the little things that we can get on a daily basis

  6. While playing this game I learned:

    1) Having to get water while avoiding rebels with guns would be a near impossible task. Thinking it would be harder in real life bc you don't run miles in a couple of seconds.

    2) Health is a real issue not like ours but for them actually surviving.

    3)These small villiages can easily taken over by rebels that feel the need to for money or supplies.

  13. I learned many heartbreaking facts from this game :/ The first was you had to risk your life in order to get water. Instantly made me think, do you know how easy it is for us the get water? It's insane that some people have to put their lives on the line for it..
    The second thing I learned was when I used the 10 year old boy and he got caught, boys face abuse, capture and possible death if caught by militias.
    The third thing I learned was in order to beat the game you need to have speed + strengh. And the rebels are heartless and will kill anyone they see. It's TERRIBLE.

  16. When playing this game I learned
    1. It is VERY hard to get water
    2. Families risk members when they get water, the militia does not care and shoots whoever they want (mothers and young children)
    3. Camps are constantly under attack, people can’t live a free life.

  17. 1. Many small children risk their lives for water for their village

    2. water is not wasy to come by

  18. From the game i learned that when you go out to search for water you are in high risk of being caught and taken away from your family. When back in camp medical care is very scarce so many members of the camp began to get sick putting you in risk and you never know when militia will attck you.
    I agree with amanda, every time you are out getting water you become scared if you may be caught or will make it.

  19. 1. It is very hard to find somewhere to hide when you are looking for water.
    2. Even when you think you are safe in the village, there is always a threat.
    3. People of ALL ages risk their lives for their village.


    I agrees with Stephanie... the rebels do not care who they take or who they hurt.

  20. I learned that running a refugee camp would be an extremely difficult task. Attempting to ensure that everyone recieves food and water isn't very easy when these resources are limited. Giving medical support to the wounded or the sick is also very difficult for medical supplies are also limited. Above all, guerilla or militia attack is always an evident threat, making living in fear the norm in these camps.

  21. I learned that we here in America take many freedoms for granted, such as being able to get water without being persecuted. Also, providing support for these people doesn't always aid them, as the opposition forces in Africa and completely in control of the people.

  22. -Getting water is a very difficult thing that is actually life threatening.

    -Medical supplies are limited, so the sick may not be able to get the attention they need.

    -Everyone in a family must risk their life to do the simplest things.

    And i agree with Aaron's post.

  23. 1. People in darfur don't even have enough freedom to retrieve water safely.

    2. There are no age exceptions, everyone is at risk of being captured.

    3. Even if people aren't killed by the rebels, their bad health will eventually kill them.
