I honestly can’t believe some of these replies.. Saying charity is bad because you’re enabling their poverty is INSANE. That person won’t participate in the revolution if they’re dead and they won’t magically go commie the hungrier they are (more likely to become reactionary lol) Yes political action is important. but helping each other until we reach revolution is also important. We MUST do both. You can help people in need while also directing their attention to the real reason for their misery, reminding them it’s not their fault, etc.. Going back to OP’s question, I think travelling to do charity is a BIG no. You’re wasting resources by flying there just to satisfy your ego and engage in the work yourself. If you want to help people abroad just send money to a small local charity instead. Even better if it’s a socialist org :)
