I understand your question, yes you can help locally and invest that money here at home, our programs are tax deductible (we are a 501 Charity Organization), all the expenses even the airfare you can deduct from your taxes at the end of the year. 80% of what you pay goes directly to the programs abroad and the local economy (food, clothes, school text, malaria, tuberculosis, yellow fever medicine, to build wells for water, build orphanages for children that have lost there parents to wars, HIV, and many other issues that our country dosen't have, that's why we need to have a more global view because at the end, the issues and problems from other countries and continents will affect us at home in the future. Please visit http://www.abroaderview.org and see whats happening out of our 4 wall view.
I hope I gave you a better understanding why we need to send people abroad and why it has a cost (you are paying for the accommodation, food, airport transportation, a coordinator on site, emergency 24/7, travel guides, donation to the program, the update of the website with new information, trips to the placements by our representatives, phone, internet, mail, shipping donation, and any other logistics that the organization may have) please visit our FAQ page for more answers http://www.abroaderview.org/faq.php
And finally if you cant pay for the fees you can fund raise, there is many easy ways to collect money, the need is so big, just look at our videos on youtube http://www.youtube.com/abroadervieworg
In the US we don't have children dying because of lack of food, or because of dirty drinking water (many children die of diarrhea) or malaria (easy to solved with a vaccination), any many many many other easy fixable issues. That's why we need to send people abroad and show them the real picture of whats happening overseas.
Imagine this:
There are approximately 350 million child-slaves in the world; millions of war-victim children; and starving, abandoned little victims everywhere! The International Labor Organization estimates that 352 million or 23 percent of all children between 5 and 17 years of age were actively working in the year 2006. This is reality - perhaps not in America, Canada or the UK - for millions of children around the globe.
The amount of orphans in the world is staggering. In our host countries where we offer programs, there are over 200,000 Chilean orphans, over 2 million Peruvian street children living in extreme poverty, and an estimated 8 million AIDS orphans in Uganda, Kenya and Ghana.
According to the ONE campaign, Around the world, more than 100 million children are not in school and more than 60 million of these children are girls. Whether a boy or a girl, every child deserves the chance to go to school and have a hopeful future.
