When we do side adventures like a day in the mountains or a day out golfing, those funds have to come out personal money from the team members. Any ,money that is donated and tax receipted can only be used for projects and trip expenses. even when our teams eat out, that comes out of personal money. But with that said, I know better than to include a lot of "vacation type photo's " in any reports. Our teams often work 14 hours a day, they work hard ....and they play hard..... my big side adventure last trip over seas was a day at the Abby on the way home......$200 for the hotel....$50 for transportation....$55 one order of fish and chips...and $25 admission. this could have hired a teacher for the orphanage for 6 months......it made me sick.... as interesting and as exciting as it was, I will now always remember England with a little disappointment!

It is, in my opinion, a common misconception among donors that all of the money they give will end up going to something "spiritual." Or, at least, more discretion in their communications.
