Wow, is it not a hard game to play and harsh reality!
I can't wait to hear how that lesson plan went - sounds like you have been involved with similar causes and educating community about challenges around the world for a while.
It's a tough game to play. I think it is a little easier to do this as a group, as then you may not give in to the horror and despair as easily. Sometimes you feel that you just can't win at all, no matter what you do. And because you associate so closely with the character, and you are so likely to become a victim, it's really terrifying.
