Hell, if you're in it for the glory than it can't really be considered compassion can it?

The greatest thing that comes to mind, in terms of a group is of course my service in NOLA. But even then it was only partially voluntary. I loved it because of the work I did, and not necessarily for who the work was done for.

Right now, I'm working to gain support from the highschool I work at to adopt a hurricane displaced family in this area. Parents with two children and another one the way. I want to try to supply their needs and in turn have them come in and share their story with the students. It's probably one of the more selfless things I'm doing, mostly because it's been my personal project and does not relate to my mission at the school. I've never really organized a project on that scale before.
I don't think that it really matters *why* you do works that could be considered "selfless". It only matters that you DO them.
