[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly - I think they are obnoxious. I think it is a way for folks with money to feel good about themselves by going to a fun location, doing some community service to benefit others, and then having fun and getting people to pay for it. It is questionable whether the people who are receiving the services asked for the help or even appreciate being the source of people with money's good feelings for using their vacation to help the poor. Yuck.[/quote] I feel similar. Yes, they do help the recipients and intentions are good. BUT, they also serve a self serving purposes of the church leadership such as strengthening ties and loyalty among the church members. I dislike the fundraising part of it, making others pay for a chunk of it. [/quote] There's a big of poverty tourism that rubs me the wrong way too. [/quote]
