You might have heard and seen a lot of celebrities and business people doing big charities and donating huge sums of money to NGOs or being part of some donation campaign.

Donations can improve your mental and physical health.</strong></h2><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><br>In 1988, a researcher found out that some students who had watched a movie about Mother Teresa and her good works experienced positive vibes in themselves and reported very little illness in the months that followed.
