Sorry, but your new profile picture of you standing next to an impoverished child from a third world country doesn’t fix anything; it just makes you look ignorant. So you’ve signed up through your local church or other feel-good organization to travel to a third world country to dig wells, build shacks, and volunteer with…
Over spring break, I went on a High Impact Leadership Trip with a group of thirteen remarkable people to Detroit (my hometown) and Chicago.
