Toxic Charity #3.2: The values that come from helping others:

• Sometimes my group was able to do things others couldn't do. For example I had a number of computer whizzes in my group and even though it was not a part of the plan either for us or for the receiving agencies, twice, in different situations, they were able to recondition abandoned computers and network them, providing a significant service. One year an adult counselor who was a building contractor with specialized tools was able to take a few youth and do major construction in a Katrina devastated area.
