Do you know that……. there are 1.1 billion people use less than $1 a day
……………. 2.7 billion lived on less than $2 a day
. ……… 800 million people go to bed in hunger every day???

In the camp, 30 participants lived in simulated environments, allowing all of us to have a taste of what poor people around the world faces on a daily basis.
