could
you
SURVIVE
a
MONTH in POVERTY?
...how
about an HOUR?
On March 24, 2007, the VCC AmeriCorps*VISTA Team, with
the help of one dozen community volunteers,
put on a Poverty Simulation at UVM.
About
40 students took up the
CHALLENGE: to
assume the roles of individuals and families in poverty as they struggle
to survive a month (one hour) on a limited budget while
fulfilling their basic needs.
