Good stuff Mongkol for pointing out this impressive woman. In fact, I think Hannah (Epic Arts) was about to meet her for lunch on Friday when I popped by to see her. Hope you are well. Miss you buddy. Dickon

ពិតជាគួរអោយស្ងើចសរសើរមែន។
សង្ឃឹមថាគាត់ទទួលបានការគាំទ្រច្រើនទោះបីជាគាត់អាចជួយកុមារ
កម្ពុជាបានត្រឹមមួយផ្នែកតូចក៏ដោយចុះ។

Dear MongKol and everyone,
Thank you very much for your support. I really appreciate your help. I had a great time in Los Angeles during CNN Heroes award ceremony. That was amazing experience for me and I am very happy to received this honored, even I didnt win the voted to get the addition prize $100,000 but the Hero award that I received is for all Cambodian people, I am proud of myself. The Heroes award is look very simple, it made by wood but beautiful, CNN very smart to make the Heroes award by wood, save the environment and they can wrote all about my story, my mission and vision. I cant believe that I received the Heroes award, this is like a dream. However, I will do my best and work hard to continue help those children and people who couldnt able to help themself. Everyone has power to change. Please join with me, we really need your help. You can learn more about my program at http://peopleimprovement.org
Sponsor a child is a good program to help the children from the dump. You sponsor one child it mean to save their life from the slaves and give them hope for their future.
Wishing you all the best, happiness, success and prosperity this 2009.
Many thanks,
Phymean Noun
