Answer 1

I felt the same way when I was younger, but short term trips really don't do too much.  It's a good idea, but if we really are going to help Africa, we need a grass roots political movement to get our countries in gear and send aide.  Perhaps you could plan on helping Africa long-term, when you are older.

Plus, you might get some kind of crazy disease and just make the people you came to help feel sorry you went through all the trouble!

Answer 2
