The Business of Charities: An ex-communicated priest turned mogul, a porridge-selling school director, and fighting volunteers

I'll be the first to admit it, leaving your job and going to help children in South America and Africa is a bit idealistic. But a large part of it was that I thought I would be able to make a small difference in a few people’s lives. I knew it wouldn't be easy living in distant and still developing nations, but on the whole I thought this would be a fun time full of good experiences. Well, of course I have had many great experiences in Peru and Tanzania, but unfortunately not everything has been quite so positive. In fact, parts have been downright frustrating and disheartening. And the last thing that I ever expected to see was that people would be taking advantage of the children I was trying to help.
