      compared to $$ transfers, there's no way that unskilled teenagers building a school is the best dev intervention. just self-serving

      Not at all. What if a rich-country teen increases donations significantly over course of life as result of participating in such a trip?

      What if such a teen is more likely to vote to support aid and a pro-poor agenda?

      right. but some people might be more likely to do it if they think it actually helps. that belief could be slightly inaccurate.

      Sure. I'm still interested in the real-life counterfactual. If I convince them that it doesn't really help, are they more likely to invest..
