The issue is, a lot of these places do not need to be "taught how to have basic hygiene." The people are not stupid. They often don't have the basic infrastructure in order to have "good hygiene," for example, they don't have clean water or have such a limited supply that is has to be prioritized to drinking and cooking. So I'm wondering if this program really makes an impact. I'd really look into that before doing any abroad program, especially if you want to actually help people besides just in a shallow Toms shoes kind of way.


something burning?
