Short Session Description:
“The Kids of Kayele” is an online game that uses multimedia collected by Zambian teenagers to teach youth about water, sanitation, hygiene and the relationship these three issues have to disease transmission and poverty.
Full Session Description:
CAWST’s Youth Wavemakers collects youth stories from our clients overseas to engage North American youth in global and local water issues. A group of teenagers from Zambia - The Kids of Kayele – gathered the footage included in this engaging online computer game. Geared toward a junior and senior high audience, the Kids of Kayele helps students problem solve how to maintain their health and prevent disease based on hygiene, water, and sanitation practices in a Zambian village. Teachers will also learn how to use this resource to engage youth in water issues and foster global citizenship.

Hi Michelle, after reading your submission, I wonder whether you would consider adding the tag 2012Gaming along with your current 2012Teachers tag. Go up to options>edit your tags and add it in next to 2012Teachers. That means those who are interested in attending gaming sessions will find your submission.
