CHOW TIME
We had traditional dishes of meat, tomatoes, and bananas at this community kitchen, launched by Wyclef and his foundation, Yele Haiti (which means "Haiti's cry for freedom"). There are many ways to help people here - and around the world, for that matter. And it brings you such joy to do so. In fact, it's very selfish to help others, because while you make them happy, you feel even better yourself. This should be the new selfish - helping others!

Jessica Buchanan: Kidnapped!

On October 25, 2011, 32-year-old aid worker Jessica Buchanan and a Danish colleague were ambushed en route from a land mine awareness training program in southern Somalia and taken by pirates who had moved their ransom schemes from sea to land. Their price? $45 million. Here, she recounts the harrowing abduction that led to 93 days in captivity and a dramatic rescue by the elite U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six.
