Student Sharing

The simulation part was inspiring and thought-provoking. I never had the opportunity to experience what people living under poverty do except on TV until today. The presenter enlightened us and was able to involve everyone. I got hands-on and full-person experience today. It was surely an unforgettable experience for me.

It has been one of the most emotional and inspiring events of my life. Coming from a country that has high poverty, I actually believed I had a pretty good understanding of poverty. However, the difficulties that I have imagined and thought of turned to be much flowery compared to the simulation. I am thankful for giving me the opportunity of experiencing the poverty simulation. Also, the inspiring conversation with the trainer David and his sharing of emotional moments have left a deep impression on me.
