  • Flash forward to 2011, and philanthropy is the new black. Everywhere you turn, people are spending a few months abroad to build a school
  • volunteering at the blood bank in the evenings after they finish their 9-to-5 job. Everyone has a cause

  • Why now?
  • what's with the boom in charity work in recent years?
  • candidates for medical school are becoming more and more qualified right out of university. With great grades and amazing recommendations, it can be hard to differentiate yourself from the pack. Enter philanthropy.
  • It adds some much-needed clout to your character and shows you can commit yourself fully to a project and see it through until the end.
  • Bus ads, billboards and online banner announcements all broadcast the latest causes to hit the scene. Perhaps all this good karma talk has seeped into our collective subconscious minds and led us to believe that the only way to live a worthwhile life is to include a little do-gooding in our daily activities.
  • the most important factor at play when it comes to philanthropy: the pure, selfish, unadulterated sense of warmth and happiness that comes from knowing that you've just used your valuable time to help someone who's not you
  • we've all started realizing that helping other people is just another way of helping yourself.
  • classic debate over whether or not there is truly a selfless good deed that one can partake in, because no matter what altruistic endeavor you're undertaking, you are still selfishly reveling in every little good vibe and pat-on-the-back that comes your way as a result of your labor.
  • behind every good charity organization, there stands an army of amazing volunteers. So, here's to all you karma junkies, altruism enthusiasts and kindness fanatics out there. Consider yourselves all cyber high-fived, because the work you're doing is actually making the world a better place.
