==Earthquake relief==
In January 2010, an earthquake hit the capital city. The best-publicized response has been to pledge or solicit money for relief. One worry conservatives have is whether the money will be spent effectively.
* Aid organizations affiliated with churches did the best in delivering aid after the [[tsunami]]. Their people were on the ground and living with the people who needed their help. Large NGO’s and government agency types just flew in, stayed at the best hotels, and flew out. There was little attempt to work with the local leaders and address local needs. They just dictated and flew away. [http://northshorejournal.org/haiti-earthquake-relief]
