Everytime I see one of those SickKids or World Vision kids corner me on the sidewalk, I feel the urge to let them know that what they are doing is no better than institutionalized panhandling and that, unlike the haggard guy with the cardboard sign behind them, they aren't even working for themselves.
It looks like a very demeaning job and this city is full of $9/hour stuff for students to do over the summer that doesn't involve standing for hours in the rain and having other people make fun of you. I wonder what compels them to take these jobs, and whether "idealism" has anything to do with this.
