This game is about Haiti people’s life. They have only 300 GOUD in a season. There are five family members. However, they didn’t receive enough salaries even though they worked very hard. And they got disease very easily. Unfortunately, if they fail at working, they can’t go to the hospital although they get disease such as cholera. If they aren’t sent to hospital, they are dead. We can know what Haitian’s life is and how they work.
I chose health for primary objective because I thought Haitian had to be healthy; I really wanted to help them. Furthermore, they are suffering from the recent earthquake. They lost their shelter and family. They are being frustrated. That’s why I chose health.
They had to be healthy but if they didn’t have enough money, they couldn’t go to hospital. Therefore, I made them working very hard to earn enough money. They have earned the money as much as they could. So, when they were sick, I could send them to the hospital. When they became healthy, they worked again. I was keeping this pattern to make them healthy.
I sent father and the oldest brother to work in the factory. They were strong and able to work very hard. Mom and sister were sent to the family farm. I wanted them to earn much money so that they could use money whenever they wanted. I sent the youngest brother to school because he couldn’t work for a long time and he is too young. He will easily get exhausted. He had to be educated so that if he becomes a grown-up, it will be very useful.
Parents would choose to devote so much effort sending their children to school because it’s really necessary. If parents are people who really care about their children, they should send their children to school. If they are educated, they can earn or work very easily in the future and they will be really helpful.
Maybe just few people were able to keep the children in school because the family doesn’t have enough money that they own. It might be difficult to send children to school. They often fail at working and farming so they lose their money very easily. The family didn’t have enough money to send their children to school. Even if they sent their children to school it didn’t take long time to study in school. And, children usually got disease, so they couldn’t go to school any longer.
In my own community, if we work hard, we get enough salaries for that. However, Haiti people can’t get. If they are unlucky, they are in poverty. They don’t even have money to send their children to school.
Access to education might be a challenge in another country because although those countries have more money than Haiti people, they still have to work to earn enough money to afford education, healthcare and food. If they don’t work, they might be in poverty. In the other hand, in some countries, gender equality has not been achieved yet. Girls are being forced not to go to school while the boys are sent to school.
Having enough money and having a good health would make it easier for the children in the game to gain access to education. In this game, most children can’t be sent to school because their parents don’t have enough money to send their children to school. Or, even they are sent to school, they get disease very easily, so they can’t go to school. A lot of things have to be changed especially the climates of Haiti. There are many disasters occurring in Haiti. Hurricanes often cause a lot of crops to be destroyed, leaving many Haitian families with nothing.
