[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on the organization and the individual. There are some very good programs and there are some very superficial ones. I also think there are some participants that do it for the "wrong" reasons. For me I did a great, post-college, non-religious, Peace Corps-type of volunteer program and it was immensely valuable in teaching me about the world, about being grateful for my life and about how to nurture humanitarian spirit within me. I would love for my kids to do something similar but you can bet I will be researching it very thoroughly before they go. My niece just went on a church mission and I sort of thought it was about indoctrinating HER, as much as the locals and it put a bad taste in my mouth.[/quote]
