The game Ayiti

1. What was it like playing the game? Playing the game was an interesting experience to what it is like in a third world country.

2. what was the game about and how would you describe it to a friend? The game was about living in a third world country called Haiti and keeping a family of 5 alive and trying to give them an education. I would describe it as an interesting game that shows you what it is like to live in a third worl country where not everyone gets an education.

3. Which primary objective did you chose and why? My primary objective was education because without education the childrens life wouldnt improve and they wouldn't be able to get an improved job later in life.

4. What types of decisions did you have to make about the family members while playing? I had to decide if they were going to work and if yes where, if they were ging to go to school and where they were going to go, If they were sick whether to send them to hospital or not. What items to buy.

5. What strategies did you use? My strategy was to make 4 of the people work and 1 go to school and alternate this for the first year for each person, to buy the books and the farm animal for some extra income and to if they got sick send them to hospital so it could be fixed straight away, once i had saved up some money i sent the kids to school while the parents worked at their market stall. Then later on when i had lots of money i sent them all to school. Did they work or did they not? Yes they did work the game ended and no one had died, they had gotten an education and were fairly happy.

6. Why would parents choose to devote so much effort to sending the children to school? The parents would devote all that time to sending the children to school because then the children would have a better life than them.

7. How many of you were able to keep the children in school? I managed to keep at least one child in school every time, and at other times i had everyone at school.

8. What obstacles did you face in trying to keep them in school? The problems i had were mostly financial at the start then later on it was illness.

9. How do the situations and opinions in this game compare with those in your own community? Umm i think it compares because some people cant afford to send their children to school.

10. Why might access to education be a challenge in another country? I think it might be a challenge because soimetimes it is to expensive and and people might live to far away to get to school.

11. What factors would make it easier for children in the game to gain access to education? You could start of with money or have a free public school so that all children can have an education. What conditions could be changed and how? The conditions could be changed by having the school free and a cheaper hospital.

Done hehe
