Actually in my later years in university a lot of development issues were beecoming a fad to arrange events about. which was good in one way but on the other hand some people would organize a lot of stuff without actually questioning the results of those activities....
anyways read the article below..
Volunteering is altruism in action. Based on the principle of altruism, volunteers are not motivated by any sense of selfish desire for something in exchange for their service.
Unfortunately, in contemporary society, I have encountered many people whose sense of altruism is questionable.
There are more people today whose service to the community appears driven by the expectation of an extrinsic reward rather than an inner
desire to help the needy.

You could also argue that altruism doesn't exist because even the "I feel good for helping someone" feeling is selfish. Honestly, we are all motivated by something-- the difference between the good and ugly are what motivates people.
The only true altruists are those that live and do and be only for God, and they are the Prophets and saints, the Sufis of every religion.
Ya Haqq!
Have to agree with Irving bhai there.
