Okay so I want to go on a mission trip to Africa through the program Global Expedition.
We're going to go to refugee camps, help do laundry, make mud houses, etc.
I REALLY want ot go but there are some problems (that my parents identified that I agree with but..):
I'm a huge germophobic.
Don't like bugs, dirty stuff.
I even freak out when the floor in our house isn't clean enough to my standards.
HATE public bathrooms.
I get sick really easily.
I have a compulsive to wash my hands freqquently.
I will go on the two week trip. i had a huge argument with my parents because I want to be a nurse in Hummanitarian Aid and africa is perfect to see what it could be like. And my dad agreed to let me go because he doesn't wnat me to go into hummanitarian aid and if going there for two weeks will change that, then so be it.
\In africa I will probablly not go to the bathroom where I think I will and there will be no clean water to take a shower.
They also think that I should get a job in the summer instead of spending lots of money helping out when I don't get any plagues, SOMETHING out of this (they don't think the rewards of helping people counts).
So now I'm wondeirng what do you guys think - should I go or not? All of this points to no I guess but i really want to go to Africa, I don't know why. Maybe it's because I want to get away from a place iwth spoiled kids and see real life. Or maybe it's because I want to get over my clean freakness and REALLY help. Or maybe it's because I really love Princess Diana and want to follow her footsteps.
There's a trip to Romania too to an orphanage but it starts at the same time. I could go to that one because I like kids but hey there's probably orphanages in Africa already AND defintiely kids so why not that?
Your opinion please! (link)

Hey! I'm Romanian. I think both are really good choices and its real hard to choose between them. I have never been to africa but i have been to romania. its really sad to see the children living on the streets with no parents or food or anything that most of us have here. you are really true, most children in america are really spoiled and have no idea what is going on in the rest of the world. i think you should do what you think is the best for you. :) it would be nice if you can go to both but the dates makes it hard. please tell me, what is this mission to romania called? i would love to goo!!!!
