Because we like to mix charity and social work with a mission, so we feel like we are doing something useful, then we have great stories to tell the congregation back home? Most people don't feel like spreading Christianity is all that useful/safe - but handing out freebies to second world residents, now that is "giving" to the "poor" and that is worthy of a slide show. Being chased by an angry mob through the market and ending up in jail wouldn't make the Sunday School Approved cut.
