<p>Wow! I didn’t realize people pay $4-5, 000 for Junior to do volunteer service. If it is a service that cannot be performed by a local, like physicians going to thrid world countries and bringing Jr. to help with intake and paperwork that may be more reasonable. Otherwise, Habitat for Humanity always needs help.</p>
<p>Many kids in our area go on ‘mission trips’ with their local churches or youth groups, I am sure that they pay a small fortune for those as well, but typically they are going to places that do need more warm bodies to do manual labor because the villages may have been wiped out by storms or floods. They are also bringing in medical supplies and food. Without more detail, I am not willing to condemn. I imagine that, the college administrators are pretty good at marginalizing some of these things.</p>
