<p>People are supposed to tell the truth. Explain it like you’re supposed to explain it, truthfully. </p>
<p>I personally dislike volunteering in foreign countries because it’s a sign that someone has parents with deep pockets. These volunteer programs charge thousands of dollars to bring someone to a third world country, so people “pay” them for hours when they could be easily accessible for free at someone’s own township. Most of the money probably goes towards the student’s airfare, food, and living quarters while they’re there anyway.</p>
