Do their parents still have to pay tuition and board?

So these spoiled kids are depriving a real homeless person from a donation.

No, they spent five days camping. They were not homeless.

Here’s an example

[Larry Lucido]

No, if they REALLY want to experience what many “homeless” experience, they should:

1) drop out of school and alientate all their relations

2) develop an uncontrollable addiction to alcohol or some other substance

3) get a mental illness

THEN maybe they can say they walked in the shoes of the so-called “homeless.”

Galatians 2:10
They desired only that we should remember the poor, the very thing which I also was eager to do.

Church I went to in Connecticut planned on doing this to "raise awareness" about "THE HOMELESS."

Until I noted that raising awareness doesn't feed, clothe or shelter any homeless. If they really wanted to help the homeless, take them into their homes and feed, clothe and shelter them until the homeless find jobs and can provide for themselves.

They found other ways to get in touch with their feelings.

It just may remind them, rather forcefully, of how important it is to be on the right side of the parable about the Rich Man and Lazarus.

Perhaps you should join them...?

[Jack Wilson]

Maybe this will prompt young people to join voluntary service organizations like Lions and others, which do an excellent job in charity work with almost 100% efficiency compared to the government where money simply goes down a rathole.

[tiki]

It is all liberal claptrap but it should be a good experience, a lot of kids get this experience by camping with Dad and they don’t ask for donations.
