Despite a lack of the material wealth we so value in the West, many people in developing countries have fulfilling lives. So maybe we've missed the boat. Maybe happiness is not about affluence.

Some people travel to escape. There's nothing wrong with that. But those who want to challenge themselves, to immerse themselves in the variety of talent and lifestyles available on this planet, must open themselves up.

TRAVEL to the developing world is a challenge for many people. They are often afraid of seeing the poor. They are afraid that something will be asked of them they can't provide, that their compassion will be tested and found wanting.
