  1. It is really good to hear about her, with the same I would to talk about Charles Wang . He is successful business man & Wang is an active philanthropist working with such causes as the Make a Wish Foundation, Smile Train, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, among others. He also founded Charles B. Wang center in New York
