<p>There is no monopoly on suffering in the world, and it’s not the spoiled brats who go out to volunteer, whether in their own country or abroad. A love of travel and culture shows a lot more character than a narrow-minded and unilateral approach, very much like the one you seem to portray. Get out there in the world and learn something. Yes, people are suffering here. That doesn’t mean we can’t help people abroad, especially when they suffer a lot more. We can see an entire continent of people trying to deal with corrupt government, HIV/AIDS, poverty, disease, famine, and a lack of real aid and infrastructure building (because of people like you who think you can throw money at a problem to make it go away). Excuse us for trying to help!</p>
