[quote=Anonymous]I work in international development so know of which I speak. Ultimately, the money spent on these trips would be put to much better use if invested in the local community directly or donated to a reputable local organization already doing good work on the ground. That being said, some of these trips can impact the volunteer's lives so much that they dedicate their professional lives to service. The projects that do the most harm are anything related to orphans. Do not go volunteer at an orphanage for a week or a month. Losing the bonds with a trusted adult is so much more damaging to those kids' lives than if you never showed up at all.[/quote]
