<p>Your D certainly sounds like the exception - - I haven’t seen a lot of the overseas service kids engaged in service projects at home, “spreading the message” or selecting overseas projects that require the amout of work you described. </p>
<p>Significantly, your D went to Haiti after graduating from hs; as I stated in post #21, there are INCREDIBLE, low-cost, demanding overseas service opportunities for adult students (hs grads and age 18+). These are true service (with a capital “S”) programs and bear little resemb to the high-priced fun-in-the-sun “service” programs for 15-17 year old hs students.</p>
