Believe me I am in no way knocking them either! I will go again and love it! I am just now much more aware of who really gets the most benefit and who does the learning and for me that answer is ME!
I know the experiences I have had on these trips have changed me to the core and would suggest one for anyone.
I will say Moms on a Mission has had huse successes making an impact with the funds we raise. We have donated many thousands of dollars and I know these make an impact we will never understand. But we don't try to manage that impact--we leave that to the non-profits like Behrhorst, CoEd, WINGS, Orphan Resources, Open Windows, etc.... who know just how to make a dollar have the largest impact on a rural Guatemalan life.
Last year alone, our teens raised over $15,000 (8 teenagers) to donate among several non-profits.
Just do something...
