Everyone who has played it agrees: "Poverty Is No Game" is a powerful exercise for understanding what it is really like to live in poverty. This board game puts participants into the shoes of a person who struggles to meet their basic expenses, and it includes a debriefing about the issues involved. This is a great way to deepen you awareness of poverty issues. Why not organize a "Poverty Is No Game" event at your parish? Social Justice and Advocacy Committee member the Rev. Kyn Barker will lead you through this process.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS MARCH 15!!!
