<p>I still don’t see how a TEEN (who requires expensive supervision not provided for adult volunteers) traveling to Africa and initiating a goat/chicken farming project is more valuable than contributing to Heifer or a similar existing program. (FYI: $5K to Heifer funds a Gift Ark - - 2 each cows, sheep, camels, oxen, water buffalo,pigs, goats, donkeys, llamas, flocks of geese, flocks of chick and beehives; 6 each ducks, rabbits and guinea pigs.)</p>
<p>Just my opinion.</p>
