Luharia's Disappearance Mystery

Luharia left his village and went to the city because the government was planning to build a dam to regulate the flow of the Narmada River and stop it from flooding. Luharia at first refused to leave but when he heard that the dam will help 40 million civilians to gain access to clean water and electricity. In reality, they were actually building a dam so that Gujarat, who is very strong on the chemical front, will gain more profit. We believed that the chemical producers bribed the government officials to create a dam so they can produce more chemicals and consequently gained more profit. The World Bank at first wanted to loan India 450 million dollars but when they found out that the river calculations were inaccurate, they refused to give them money and the construction of the dam was halted. In the end Luharia didn't need to leave his village but because of a government that is corrupt to the core, he was made to move by the government.

This exercise was quite hard at first, but as we slowly pieced things together, we started to find out the truth.

Fair Trade Mystery

After categorising the cards, I figured that Grace was extremely happy and excited because she got the privilege to attend school, which is quite rare in Ghana as only 1 out of 3 girls can get an education. She was able to attend school because her father joined Kuapa Kokoo, which ensures that Grace's father earns the amount of money he deserves. They teach her father to not get cheated by greedy buyers. The Fairtrade Foundation also supports Kuapa Kokoo and also ensures that they get paid the amount they deserve.
