RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 07/08/18> Why should I not be surprised by this…
This is a fascinating topic, very close to home when its one of your own. I have had many conversations with the types that run missions trips, takes tens of thousands of dollars to get overweight americans 'helping' orphans in central america. Great experiences for the americans, but let's be real, with all that money latin laborers could build a theme park for those kids, and create jobs for themselves to boot.
Yes, it is more of "feel good" thing for folks to see it first hand I guess, but then like you say, the money could be put to better use besides the expense of the travel and actually make a bigger difference. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts and experience with regard to this subject.
