Four students from the École de technologie supérieure embarked on a three-stage scenario involving a project to build a nursery school in a developing country. Act 1: They were expelled from Tibet, the initial location of their project, by Chinese authorities. Act 2: They received an invitation from a monastery in northern India, but the project no longer met the standards of the Programme de regroupement étudiant pour la coopération internationale (PRÉCI). They returned home. Act 3: They flew to Cameroon, and in Yokadouma they finally built a nursery school capable of accommodating 200 to 250 children. Outcome: small budgetary surplus and work completed in two months rather than four.
