Kari on KOMO-TV (ABC) in Seattle
I was invited to talk about our school in Cambodia on the ABC-TV affiliate in Seattle, Washington. KOMO-TV’s Northwest Afternoon show was most interested in hearing about how “one person really can make a difference.”
I received this email from a Cambodian American viewer after the show….
“I was thrilled to have been home on Monday and have watched you on the NW Afternoon show. It was inspiring. I’m honor that you have chosen to adopt a Cambodian baby…how awesome is that. Your son is so blessed to have you. I’m Cambodian and came to the U.S. in the early 80’s. I’m very proud of you and what you have accomplished and in opening up your heart to the other side of the world and all that you have done for the Cambodian people.” Thank you, Sreytouch Ryser - Seattle
On Bones That Float: A response from a Cambodian American reader…
“Thank you for the inspirational story. I felt myself being part of Maly’s life. Her story is very similar to mine. It was as if I was reading about my life. It has always been my dream to write and to let many know what I and millions of Cambodian went through during the Khmer Rouge time. I feel the need to educate many about what war does to the spirit of human beings. I see so much violence and hatred among people and it is becoming more and more so. I just want to thank you for your powerful words in your book. I am grateful for your being to help the people of Cambodia. I wish I could only find the strength like you.” Thank you, Chanda Luker - Maine
It’s an honor to hear from the people who lived it, that I got it right….embed>
