Perry, I disagree. One volunteer I know got off the plane in Africa as a brash 19-year-old, returned to the States twenty three years later, a well and truly different person.

It can be a very life-altering experience.

I would say it was the time and commitment to do something significant more than the going somewhere that changed him. Of course the environment and the person at his core determined who he became. It's the twenty three years that changed him. Not the fact that he went somewhere.
