* 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]
