Cherie Nursalim is Executive Director of GITI Group. She lives in Singapore and was born in Singapore but she’s Indonesian by nationality. The greatest influence on her giving, as with most of the other donors we talked to, is her family. Her grandparents moved from China to Singapore in the 1930s. Having done quite well for themselves in Singapore, they began helping those back in China, supporting schools among other things, and her parents continued and expanded this charitable tradition. ‘So I guess I have learned from my parents and grandparents; it didn’t start from nowhere, it started as a family tradition.’
