Something that really surprised me during this activity was how much people that were poor. There were tons of people that were poor and a lot of people that were rich. 10% people have 85% of all the money in the village, so in real life 6.3 billion people share that 15% left over from the people who are rich. The poorest 10 people in the village have less than 2$ a day! To me that is crazy and super unfair to the people who can afford proper food and shelter. Then the people who are more wealthy get plenty of food and have better shelter. Something that upset me was that the money isn't very balanced at all and the people who have so much money that they don't know what to do with should donate to a charity at least. There's so much people that don't have any money and could really use at least some money, otherwise their life is at risk. Something that made me want to improve a situation is that not enough people are getting the right education. There were lots of people who needed education and didn't get it, even some people that were adults! The kids that aren't getting education won't be ready for life later on and you also pretty much need proper education to do just about anything, including jobs. Also there is only one teacher for all of the kids that are attending school!
