I really liked the camping trip and I thought it taught us a lot about leadership and world hunger. The world hunger let me see a larger view of starving people instead of the people in the Americas but how almost everyone in the rest of the world is hungry. throughout the simulation I noticed certain benefits we had even though I was one of the richer countries. But I thought some of the supplies were unfairly distributed which may have made it less realistic than proposed. As one of the people who did quite a bit of the work it made me feel though as I had spent a fraction of some ones life in India.
The leadership portion of the camp made me realize how much younger kids follow the older kids and how we should set an example for them or maybe just be a warning. All the activities we did that had to do with leadership showed that we should listen to others and strive to work together.
Unfair distribution of resources is realistic, though we simplified it quite a bit. Not everyone outside of the US is hungry. I am glad you recognize the importance of listening as a leadership skill. Many people (including some "bosses") don't seem to know about that aspect.
