Charity may be mandatory, but if he didn't genuinely care he would have picked an easy local charity, or at least something in the continental United States. Spending a week in a 3rd world country on another continent isn't exactly a walk in the park, as many of the "charity" work athletes do.
I understand your cynicism on the subject, but I'm buying this one as genuine.
Good points, and btw, I am somewhat of an afrofile & follow the news on several african countries from time to time. Liberia is quite a choice for charity work & shows that he has an adventurous, curious side as well. Liberia is the country that recieved some 'repatriated' freed slaves from the US after the emanicpation proclamation, only to have those former slaves enslave indiginous people in Liberia. Another reason it will be an educational trip for him.
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of things to applaud about him doing this & a no. of reasons this speaks positively of him. I would prefer to label my comments as "cautious cynicism" rather than just flat out cynicism. And most of my post was intended to praise him while at the same time pointing out that there is a pr aspect to this as well.
