“I call myself a philanthropist. I spent a lot of efforts in the past ten years, with different organizations, to increase the availability of educational content that will increase tolerance and benevolence in this world. I can’t let Donald Trump ruins it,” Cecilia Chan said.

“Everything he said went against what I stand for. Politics is important but not my area of specialty. Therefore, I do my best to support Hillary Clinton.”
This year, we have our first female presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, won the support of a major political party. This year, we also have our first not-politically-experienced candidate, Donald Trump, won the support of another major party in the U.S. 2016 election is unprecedented, and affects many American citizens. Chan is one of them. She donated $20,000 to Clinton’s presidential campaign as support. This amount might not seem a lot to the campaign but this is the first time that she decided to donate to a presidential campaign.
