<p>I thought about this idea around a year ago as well. I was boasting to my friends that I'm gonna help people in Kenya the next summer. Later, thought about it, and found the disposition to be quite naive. </p>
<p>I mean, I could fullfill the exact same purpose of working and helping others just by cleaning up and recycling litter in my own little neighborhood, or lending a helping hand at the weekly after school daycare centre at the local elementary. It's not really about being different. It's about making a difference.</p>
