re: Church mission trips to Central America.

I see a lot of helping, but I also see touristing. I see money spent on "exotic" trips that could be spent better on people who have very little.

I see people scraping up funds for a trip to Haiti or Honduras who come back with a story and a bill for $3k but never donate that much to the same charity without a trip for themselves included. Not all, or even the majority of people involved in missions do that, but a lot do.

I give more than that to churches/charities every year, fyi.
