But their hearts were definitely in the right place.
So are the hearts of people who rush out to a tornado zone to "help". But if they applied a bit of critical thought to their actions, they'd realize that they might better help in other, more effective ways. And that even in those situations, a lot of people are attracted to tourist the tragedy, when the best and most effective help would be to donate funds. But then they'd be stuck with just the self-serving knowledge that they helped, and wouldn't have disaster porn and an adventure tale.

You know, much like the person in the OP who has no building, plumbing, surgical skills, but throws down $2000 plus on personal travel expenses to go hang out with orphans. Sure, her heart might be technically in the right place. Is it the best way to help? I don't necessarily think so.

OK, I was wrong. Pit of Damnation for you.
What the hell is wrong with people trying to help other people? Does that really need an efficiency study? I can only guess that you have some deep hate for Christians. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.
