  4. When I played this game, I realized how terrible humans are treated. Also, while I was playing it, it reminded me of the animal treatments the pigs and cows suffered from. The whole thing puts a very bad repuatation on the government or any political system responsible of them.

  7. As i played this game i realized that it is not fair for people to live like this. LIke you shouldnt have to get water from a well and run with it so you dont get caught. Also its not right for people to be starving and be half dead because they dont have food.

  8. I learned after playing this game, that getting water in outher countrties is much harder than i would ever imagine getting water would be. Humans are treated poorly, having no food and water is unacceptable. The whole expierience playing this gave me a bad idea our government and political systems.

  10. Wow! I agree with what everyone says, especially Kristine. One thing that was so horrible was how incredibly hard it was to play the game and actually get anything done. It makes me realize that it almost seems as though there is nothing that they can do. I can only imagine how much worse it must be for them in real life, considering how bad and hard the game itself was.

  12. From this game I have learned that even the simplest thing as getting water is made so difficult for people in darfur. They are constantly having to hide, and adult males, the one who could collect water easiest, have the higest risk of getting killed. It's horrible that the children have to be the one given so much responsiblity despite being so young. I agree with brandy, its terrible that just for trying to survive and get water children are raped and killed.

  13. I learned from playing this game how hard it really is to get water supply. you can't even get something as simple as water without getting cought buy the militia. You have to hid just to survive.Even in the camp you always have to fear something especially if you are a girl where you have the possiblity of getting kidnapped and raped. Nothing seems to be easy not even just walking around.

  14. playing this game showed how much of a struggle it was to live in a third world country. It also shows how people are ruled in areas liek that and what powerful people do to the communities

  15. after playing this game i realized how hard it is for people to make a living. each day, average people in Darfur have to undergo being treated worse-then-terribly and have to fight for there survival. A simple task just as getting water could end with their lives. This is unfair treatment, and is terrible to see or even think about, nevermind live and experience.

  16. I agree with sam that humans are treated poorly. And that every human should have the right to food and water.

  17. It's hard to get out of those camps and it doesnt matter what age you are. They don't get to eat or drink a lot. They have a really hard life. Some of us think that our life is hard but if people play this game they might think of it different.

  23. from this game i have relized that how hard that these people have it. like they have to run and hide from people so they wont get shot. its not right how these people have to go through all this trouble just to get water. i agree with courtney and gabby because people complain about how hard their lives are but these people have it bad.

  24. It's a tragedy, and it's almost beyond belief to know that people in these countries can die from simply going to get water. But then, we have to understand that these militiamen are ruthless, and over the centuries this is no new thing. But it needs to end.

  25. Its depressing how they have to sacrifice their lives for just water. I agree with chris how its a tragic. And I think its pretty pathetic that we dont even have any way of helping them.

  26. After playing the game, i realized how hard it is for them to make a living, they never feel safe. You would never think that just going to go get water is a way of dying. It's sad theres nothing being done about this.
    I agree with grace

  27. After playing this game I learned that Darfur is not a safe place to live, trying to find clean water is life threatening and many of these people are dying of starvation. I agree with Coleman that it is very hard for people to make a living. This is much different that living in the United States where it is so common.

  28. After playing the game, I rezlied how dangerous daily life in Dafur really is. Even by just going out to find water you can be killed by militia. I agree with Jake that it seems to be hard for these people to even leave these camps they live in.

  29. I learned that even something as simple as getting water can be a risk. I also learned that young children are taken hostage and older people are raped and murdered. Finally I learned that the Sudanese government backs these things. I agree with Gabby about how lucky we are.

  33. People are helpless and alls they want is to have fresh clean water. No matter which way you go you are captured like animals are. It is unfair and uncivilized. I agree with Krisitne its very sad that little children have to live as if they were adults.

  34. I find it hard to believe that humans are treated like that.

  36. in the game i found that people were being treated unfairly, they sacrafice their lives just to get water and the crazy responsibiltys at such a young age

    ReplyDelete
  37. i couldnt imagine living in a town like this, risking my life for a jug of water that barely lasts a day. Knowing that the people i love around could be taken by murderous guerillas, knowing that anyday could be my last. so much responsibilty is placed upon the young, because the adults are being killed off. i agree with Sam

  38. It is unbelievable how people are treated in certain areas of the world. It amazes me that the rest of the world is allowing people to live like this, and not helping them. Something should be done to improve the living conditions of these people.

  39. I agree with Travis, it is terrible how these people are treated.

  40. it really stinks that they have to live in such conditions. they cant do anything about it either. to get water is such a dangerous task, and could die by doing that alone. i agree with burkey because it unbelevable that we let this kind of stuff go on, and with abby because they are so young to get raped.

  42. I learned that the y;oung kids have to go through so much. Being so young they have many responsibilities and they have to dependant to helpy out their village. For me, I can just go to my fridge to get some water, but they have to face such danger just to get water. I agree with travis it is teerrible how these people get treated.
