"young people often ask us how they can address issues like sex trafficking or international poverty. our first recommendation to them is to get out and see the world...to tackle an issue effectively, you need to understand it-and its impossible to understand an issue by simply reading about it. you need to see it firsthand, even live in its midst....
one of the great failings of the american educational system...is that young people can graduate from university without any understanding of poverty at home or abroad."
