<p>.<<....for example, Putney Student Travel, a private company, offers a five-week summer program of seminars at Yale and a trip to Cambodia to address poverty issues for $6,990 >></p>
<p>Am I the only one who finds this more than ironic? What about just sending the $6,990 per college student directly to a family in Cambodia
"to address poverty issues." Every major American city and plenty of rural areas also have "poverty issues" that need addressing --what about sending kids to inner cities as literacy tutors, workers in soup kitchens, etc....</p>
