I was on this same trip that was filmed, like a few others have posted. It was a lot of fun and was a very eye opening experience. Its easy to imagine hungry freezing people (It was in the Spring) but to actually be starving and to actually be very cold is totally different than just imagining it. The classes before and after the night are also very informative and interesting. If you are planning on going than try to take care of the Refugees, because they have absolutely nothing.... Oh and if you have more than 1 slum group than combine them for even more food. (and invite the Refugees while your at it)
