They have "built" 116 houses, mobilized 500 volunteers (who evidently fly in and build them) and plan to build 2000 total.

Now they do not have to tell us how much money each house actually costs.. if you factor in all the money that the "volunteers" spend on their air fares and housing,,

But this is a transformative experience for any sort of young person (which is who I am assuming is going)

It is certainly a gala production.

Not cost efficient.. but interesting.. like the thing that Digicell did at the HAVEN in Ouanaminthe.

What about the transformative effect on local Haitians of seeing all these gringos doing their utmost to help - most of the times with a smile?

Propaganda is one thing and seeing with your own eyes is another.
