This is a new, downloadable, online edition of a game developed by NetAid that has been used by more than 50,000 students around the U.S.  The game can be used with a variety of age groups to talk about the issue of access to education.  It features the stories of real children from a NetAid World Schoolhouse project in Tamil Nadu, India.  The link will provide you with further links, including a facilitator's guide and materials for children to use in playing the game.
