<p>The $ spent transporting & supervising well-meaning, unskilled teens to serve in third world countries, which have no shortage of manual labor, is the issue. Isn’t charity about serving the poor first? Determining how best will they be served with any available money should be the priority, not how moving, or life-changing the experience will be for a teen. A doctor with medical supplies and a generator will serve the needs of the poor far better than a busload or planeload of eager teens. Money spent on transporting & housing & supervising these teens is money taken away from a more critical need.</p>
