Also, you'll have (or should have) a different outlook on what and how you consume, yourself.
That's exactly what I'm doing this april, I'm going to Nicaragua. My high school owns and feeds 1500 kids a day in school cafeterias we built. We also moved a large village to a plot of healthy land with proper bathrooms and water supply. This will be my first time going but the club(Students For 60,000) has been going for about 10 years. In the country, we help build houses, teach kids, build wells and do other helpful things.
The saddest part is that most of the central countries are poor because of the US.
Have you ever been to Nicaragua?
