The comment above was snide, but factually, I agree: I'm sure your son is helping, but I'm also sure that if you took the costs of his travel and just donated it to the people in the Dominican Republic he visits, it would help them immeasurably more.[/quote]

How much was spent for 4 kids' airfare to the DR, hotels, transportation, food, and activities? Are family members going too? My guess is it's at least $10,000. Instead of collecting used baseball gear here and traveling down there for voluntourism - just give the organization the $10K.

I hate these kind of trips. It's like church groups going to Latin America to build houses and schools. They have no construction skills. Oh, and by the way, who does have the construction skills - Latin Americans! Look who works in construction in the U.S.

These types of trips only benefit the Americans who pad their college resumes and feel good about themselves for a week.[/quote]

X4= $40,000.  Is this a USAID program?[/quote]
