Darfur is Dying
When I played the game "Darfur Is Dying" I learned that victims had to go outside of their community to go look for water. In the characters of Darfur, there are differences between them. Some of them are more slower but most of them are fast. The mother is slower because she carries so much more water than the other children. The children run fast but when they start carrying water they start to get slower. I think the designers made it like this to show that women and children have difficulties to get water for their village. It also to show the differences between women and children in Darfur. I think that they put the a part where the characters have to maintain the village because in Darfur there are people who have are sent get water so they can survive and stay strong to defeat the Janjaweed. The game includes to write a letter to the president and share the game on Facebook to share the case of how Darfur is in need of help and show how you can help them. Playing the game did make me learn something about Darfur because it thought that how small you start it can always get bigger if you try harder.
