There is one benefit to living through a crisis: it shows you what your made of, and what the people who are around you are made up of. It shows you who is courageous and shows up, and who runs.
I was struck yesterday by a comment left on one of our first blog posts about how to support aid efforts in Haiti; the person was pleading for a way to help, no aid organizations had space or availability to support them. It raises an interesting point: aid agencies can't manage all of the people who want to help, so it is with great pleasure that we get to share these two inspirational stories of people who took matters into their own hands and developed their own systems to offer aid. From geeks to cooks, people are finding unique ways to plug in.

YPNation's newest intern, Odellia Lucius, takes a look at some of the motives behind the aid being provided in Haiti.
Here's an excerpt:
"But one aspect that seems to have been overlooked is the intent of organizations on the ground. My discussions with individuals directly affected by the earthquake unveiled this: The prospect of organizations using this vulnerable time to mask their motives behind the act of service is a growing concern. Recent articles highlighting specific groups and their initiatives, show that this concern goes beyond my casual conversations.
After 10 missionaries were held by the Haitian government for reportedly trying to illegally bring Haitian children into the Dominican Republic, Kathryn Joyce penned a piece for the Dailybeast.com, entitled “ The Evangelical Adoption Campaign.” In it she highlights a new movement amongst the Christian evangelical denomination, which embraces "a new orphan theology that urges Christians to see adoption and “orphan-care” as an integral part of their faith—and a means of spreading the gospel." The article describes the adoption campaign as a holistic pro-life stance."
