The purpose of this Service Tour is twofold. Most obviously, it is an opportunity for those of us living in America and other affluent countries to serve our brothers and sisters who live without the many luxuries that we take for granted in a very real way. More importantly, the Service Tour is a chance for people of different races, nationalities, religions and languages to break down the barriers of division and create “true friendships” of understanding and appreciation through working towards a common goal.
