Here's how it works... about 100 people, most of them students, camping out with minimal provisions for most of a day and overnight. Some live in "Thailand" in elevated huts with people sleeping upstairs and livestock beneath. Some live in "Guatemala," some in "Appalachia," some in urban slums, still others in "Zambia" and Tibet, and there are homeless refugees, with a tarp covered space near a goat pen to lay their heads. The adults are there pretty much to make sure the kids don't go completely "Lord of the Flies" on the experience (though, honestly, there is a little of that). And at the end there are all sorts of life lessons about food distribution and social and cultural diversity, and the power of using power and resources wisely.
