why don't you look after the orphans in the US?
why must you come to India?

I'm not sure why people seem to get so offended by an American doing something in India.
I'm not there to "save" third world orphans, and I DO PLENTY for orphans, foster children and other disadvantaged children in the U.S.

You can read my response to this question here: http://weightofsilence.wordpress.com/about-me/

A life is a life, no matter where it is. I will never understand why some people are so offended or upset by others who do volunteer work in countries not of their own origin.

Does it really matter???
