It is a shows great strength of character if you can give and not see the results of your giving, or feel the need to make yourself known. On a more practical level though, maybe seeing the way people live, or seeing the kids in the orphanage makes it more real to some people. They can see the need. Maybe it impacts them more and they are therefore more likely to keep giving.
