LIFE ON THE EDGE: POVERTY SIMULATION
SPONSORED BY PRIDE Community Services
May 12, 2011 10:30 am – 1:30pm Word of Life Church Mt. Gay, WV |
THE SIMULATION
Join us for a unique, interactive experience that helps people begin to understand what it feels like to live in poverty. As a participant in this simulation you will take on the role of a family member facing a variety of challenging but typical, circumstances from being deserted by the “breadwinner”, job loss, and poverty with a shortage of money and an abundance of stress. It will move you to think about the harsh realities of poverty and to talk about how our community can address this problem.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT MOVES PEOPLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Week One You’ll try to figure out what you have to do first, what can wait and what the consequences of your actions may be.
Week Two You’ll realize how frightening it is when you don’t have enough money for all your bills.
Week Three The delicate balance you have maintained begins to fall apart when such real life events as eviction notices, child care arrangements fall through and problems with your job begin.
Week Four You will struggle to get all of your bills paid, avoid the payday lenders, and keep your children in school, fed and safe.
AT THE END, YOU WILL BE CHANGED FOREVER
