Why are people doing charity work now?

There are many reasons why people do charity work. At the core, however, is altruism, compassion and a desire to help less wealthy people and those who need help. Often times, charity work is done sincerely out of a desire to help. There are, however, those people who are engaged in charity, pursuing their own interests. For example, a businessman is involved in charity work, covering up his financial machinations with it. Fortunately, such people are in the minority.
