Oprah Winfrey-The Philanthropist (Entry 2)

The famous person that I have chosen for my oral presentation would be Oprah Winfrey.She is an American television host,a media mogul and a philanthropist.The things that really made my eyes open is that she is very generous in helping people and that is why they call her the philanthropist.She had done lots of charity and donations to those in need such as she had started her Oprah's Angels Network since 1998 ,a charity made to encourage people around the world to help others.These charity had raised more than $51,000,000 in US dollars and donated the money to any charity program.Oprah's Angel Network had also donated $11 million dollar to Katrina Hurricane and she also personally given $10 million dollars to the cause.Besides that,she had invested $40 million dollars to built Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa and the main purpose is to help the poor African girls to get an education.
I really astonished by her self-confident to speak for the right in front of lots of people in her talk show.I am also amazed that her talk show had attracted people from all over the world and their problem can be shared during the talk show by sending her an e-mail,that is how she help people through her talk show.Futhermore,it is amazing that her childhood life does not effect her on what she became now,a very successful and wealthiest African-American woman in the world.Lastly,her kindness and generosity had given an impact to me to become a better person.
