Now that's what I call big 2

You have heard us talk about our simulations games. Some of you have even participated. But last Saturday was our biggest ever. 430 people from one company (Jones Lang la Salle) came to Crossroads to partcipate in a company day. They were divided into 2 groups and half painted flats for teams that will be arriving soon at Crossroads, while the other half played the Basti life Bag game. A simulation life based on a real-life situation. People are placed in families and have to make bags paper bags and sell them in order to get food, and pay rent. If they do not make enough bags, they end up haing to take loans with loan sharks (Phil plays that role) and are forced into a situation from which they can't escape and may starve.

It was a very rewarding day. Thank you to the people from JLL who also raised a large amount of funds for the day.
