We started by inviting them to talk freely about what they found relevant to their lives ... expecting that health care would come up, but instead the first comment was on the condom conundrum, and their surprise over the prostitute's prices, and eventually to the unexpected consequences and "externalities" that affected more than a few people. As we had only an hour, which included a delivered box lunch, more of the conversation centered on dorm locations, the day's schedule ahead, and other helpful first day info. I'd call it a success, from the volunteer's role. The fire alarm going off brought easy closure to the rambling discussion. C'est la vie!

If you've read the first book, you don't need to read the second. I found the second book to be a bit of a disappointment.
