Microfinance again

Today in human geography class we talked about the activity we did in class about microfinance. During the activity we played a game called the Peace Corps Challenge, where we went through obstacles and tried to help the small town of Wanzuzu get back on its feet (in our mind). In class, we talked about how we felt about doing activities like this rather than taking notes from a screen. The over-all opinion was almost evenly split. Grace and I agreed (woah) that it felt less structured and harder to learn when we were just off playing the game. (Not to say that it has to be boring and humorless in order for us to learn) I'm not saying it killed me inside that we played a game in class, I just think I learn better differently. Today we also went over the answers on the peach (or is it tan?) worksheet. Some questions on the worksheet were: What are the benefits of microfinance particularly to individuals living in poverty? [and] What role do small loans play in helping people improve their lives? At the end of class Daphne threw a temper tantrum because she didn't want class to be over.
