Thanks Joystiq for sending people to our game. A few things that might be of interest:

1) UNICEF had little role in developing the game. They simply helped us to vet the content to make sure we didn't say anything stupid and, quite importantly, act as our first host. They paid nothing towards its funding.

2) Microsoft paid for the after school program and the funds to develop the game. Have fun with that one.

3) The content was created by a Haiti expert at Columbia University, our high school students, and the fine folks at Gamelab.

4) This is the first game from our Playing 4 Keeps program. To learn more about it please go to: http://www.holymeatballs.org/p4k.htm

5) This year the teens are building their next game in Teen Second Life, so they can do the coding themselves. However, we DESPERATELY need Second Life-capable computers for them to work on. Would you like a nice tax-write off? Please consider donating a machine to us at info@globalkids.org If you do, we promise not to give you dysentery.
