@elTMorales thank you for your comments regarding our project. It is true that our 8 weeks will go by fast and in the end, we all have much more than a dollar a day to return to, but during these 8 weeks rather than "call it an experience" our goal is to expand the research done prior to our visit and gaining insight through interviews conducted from poor families in our community. Moreso, we ask the question: How can the poor budget their money? We appreciate your concerns.
elTMorales, you are trying to make a point without thinking about the facts. these kids, as you call them, didn't have to go to guatemala and put themselves in this situation the first place. they are aware that there is a problem in third world countries other than poverty and are trying to let the rest of the world see it in a manner that they can understand it. Not everyone will understand how it feels to live in these circumstances all their lives but this will hopefully open a lot of eyes
@Jakuzadoc93 end. So their "reality" is not the same as of people who have to endure it their whole life long. Secondly, if you have been always poor, and life by or less a dollar a day, you are adjusted to that. Yes, we should help people get better and earn more, have more benefits and such, but do not forget that people can be happy without much money ... so, as I've said before, either way, it accomplishes nothing. These kids have just a feelgood summer trip and go home in a few weeks ...
This experience must be so rewarding... Thumbs up to you guys, you're really making a difference out there!

wish i was there to help. Can you ask the natives how well do they like it there and if they would instead be somewhere else.
