This is a look at how some of our over 1 million volunteers in Africa are viewed. Very interesting.

Several years back my nieces' volunteer group were doing car washes, odd jobs, selling candy and anything else they could find to raise money. The were going out West to do volunteer work on Indian Reservations. While they were gone I read about a volunteer group from Cincinnati that were in our town to work in the less fortunate neighborhoods.
Also, several years back my brother took a group of young volunteers down the New Orleans to paint houses. They had trouble fining anyone that would let them paint their home. (I don't blame them. It would probably have been a crappy job) So it turned into a sight seeing trip.
Deliver me from "do gooders".
