Imagine while teaching English in rural Nigeria, you tell one of your students about Kickstart MoneyMaker pumps. Your student buys one to irrigate his 2 acre farm. In the first growing season, he makes 10 times more income and brings his entire family out of poverty. His neighbors copy his success and together they climb out of poverty while producing more food for themselves and their community.

Join us on Nov 1st at the Pasadena International House of Prayer to learn about how Village the Game is going to inspire volunteers, teachers, cross cultural workers, and entrepreneurs to make even greater impact in the communities they serve.

Village the Game is an initiative to raise awareness of several amazing enterprises in the Third World that are providing tools to villagers which help these villagers rise permanently out of poverty.


Agenda


  • Introduction and refreshments
  • The New Heroes documentary (episode on Kickstart)
  • How is a video game going to alleviate poverty?
  • Show and Tell of current prototype of Village the Game.
  • Q and A with Darian
  • Q and A with God
