A lot of people knows about helping others but may not forget about self during the process. There are many who help others but goes around seeking praises and confirmation by the public by posting photos and all kinds of self-glorification of charity. However, there may also be instances where these charity has to be done and reported, such as those that will require a reporting of the use of other people's contributions to the funds for the cause, that is a different story.
