Ergo, my question: why are you making such a "mission" to beautiful Phuket and not those places MUCH worse off, that were also poorer regions to start with?

Somehow my guess is your "mission" will be more of a holiday than anything else...pardon my cynicism, BMs, but that's my take on this.
absolutely agree with this post-just imagine a coach load of rich people on a "mission"arriving i banda aceh, what is the first thing they will demand?a 5 star hotel,with top quality food and aircon--etc while all around people are homeless and traumatized, thats why phuket is the carefully chosen destination
