years ago i went on a mission trip to guatemala to build storm shelters for a town. during that time, we played with the local children and took pictures. i realized this action was wrong years ago when i learned what voluntourism is and have since deleted all images. 1/3 https://twitter.com/sug_knight/status/1253594185795420163

if your heart is in the right place as your captions imply, be honest with yourself why you feel the need to put children you have no permission to do so on your feed. it’s tough admitting we are wrong, especially when we tried to do something right, but these kids deserve better

i am the first to admit years ago i messed up. i made a mistake because i was ignorant, not that that excuses my actions.

if you’ve done similar, it’s easy to immediately jump to the defense. resist that. delete your pics and research your donations. great thread.
