Excerpted from the Uggets.com site:
"Uggets," have two major goals for the
trip. First, they
hope to raise peoples' awareness of several issues and causes in America and demonstrate a variety of ways of supporting them. "There seems to be a misconception that you have to have a special badge or belong to a certain group in order to do
good," explains
Amber, "We want to show people that there are ways to help make a difference anywhere, everywhere and at any time."
I think that summarizes nicely.
