The festival featured everything from whimsical rubber band guns, ring tosses, and rock paper scissors, to highly educational exhibitions outlining the UN\u2019s Millennium Development Goals and illustrative posters describing poverty in Africa. This balance between the enlightening and the playful ensured that attendees were simultaneously educated and entertained. And all of this is not to mention the food! Everything from western-style crepes, donuts, and chocolates, to locally flavored yakisoba and green tea were offered up to our groggy residents.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
