<p>sai thats a little harsh. But I just don't get how going over to another country and help for like a few days, and spend thousands is more helpful then sending money over there. Sure it may be fulfilling, but do the poor and abused people really care about your fulfillment? Isn't it better to send money over there knowing that your money helped feed the hungry and house the homeless? I mean, you can't really do much there besides teach children and do little manual labor.</p>

[quote I can't afford to go to special summer college programs or "volunteer" trips to eat at the Hilton. I go to the local community college and just do volunteering to wherever I can bike/run to since I don't have a porsche like you people.

<p>We stayed in youth hostels and in two hotels which were pretty basic, non luxury hotels. The summer program i'm doing now is free.</p>
<p>Stop ... because you cant do something, get a job or w/e and do something about it.</p>
