Ponheary on CNN
June 18th. Not sure about air times; I reckon it depends on where you are but it's the CNN Heros Series. Ponheary has been nominated for the award and they came to do the story, examining her personal history and the work of the Ponheary Ly Foundation.
At the moment details are sketchy but will post as I get them. Here's the link to the website where they will post her with the other nominees after the show airs. http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cnn....e10/index.html They spent the day with us at Angkor Thom, Bang Melea and Koh Ker school and village, that's why I'm posting this in a travel forum. Heh. Lori |
Looking forward to seeing this well deserved tribute. Hope it can make more people aware of the situation and help raise more money for the cause. You two deserve all the kudos that can be given, good luck!
Aloha! |
great news...
|
Thanks for posting Lori - I'll pass this on to Katie as well.
|
That's exciting! BTW - did you ever contact NPR's "The Story" to see if they would do a piece? http://thestory.org/
|
I'll be in Las Vegas. Do they even get CNN in Vegas? If so, forget poker and the other distractions, I'll be glued to CNN all day.
|
I'll try to get it here in LA too-usually we only get L.Lohan news.
|
Wow - she deserves it!
|
Very much looking forward to seeing this and urging all my friends and customers to vote for her !!
|
Very cool! Will check it out.
|
How exciting! We'll be watching and rooting for Ponheary. Good luck!
|
Well, I'm not sure I'll be <i>rooting</i> for Ponheary but, somewhere off the coast of Norway, I'll certainly be watching AND voting. lol.
Lori - might see you late July if you're in town. I have a yen for the Jayarvarman. |
"off the coast of Norway" - <i>another</i> cruise? Or are you referring to the British Isles?
|
Think Flam. Another sweet Death by Azamara. In London right now, fresh from an interesting evening. Think Tap. Think Novello. Google. You'll work it all out.
Now, back to Ponheary, who deserves far more attention than I do. |
The Hurtigruten mail boat?! All herring all the time. <i>Nothing</i> happens in Flam. The boat ride on the Naerofjord is nice. Those royalties keep pouring in. Must be nice...
|
Panda in Vegas, Dogster in London... and li'l ole me in dull western Illinois...
(dog, I got it!) |
You West End dog take a Thames river cruise instead and come back to Bangkok.
|
Don't need to google, already figured London. Am considering whether to spring for a ticket in Montreal in July. Could use a little Norwegian cool weather right now myself - sweltering in NC.
|
Gotta move Norway to Asia, not a big deal since Australia's already made the move, or craft a new widget, so we can follow along. Tell us about your glamorous return to the days of old...
|
Lori, I saw this the other day on the Asia board. I don't know Ponheary, but good on her (and you!)
Since all those who know her or likely to become involved with this organization would find them by way of the Asia board, I totally do not get why it's been thrown over here into no-man's land in the Lounge. I agree with dogstar. The mods really need to be hired/chosen from those who understand a bit more about the content they've been asked to administer. In other words, travel and destinations. C'mon admins... for heaven's sake. Anything remotely chatty is relegated here? Could you make your travel forums any more tedious that way? More importantly, Cambodia NEEDS organizations like this one and those organizations need to be found by people doing trip planning. It's not chit chat, it's about travel and respect for the destinations - what you need of them and what they need of YOU. |
I don't know the person you are mentioning, but I LOVE CNN Heros, always watch it, and see the reports on many of the nominees during the year. This comment will top the thread so others may see it and maybe the editors will move it back to the Asia Forum.
|
This thread has been moved to the Asia forum
|
A loud (deleted) roar from dogster and all is in order.
|
lol lol lol. Thank you Amy. As you see, Dogs bite. All forgotten, forgiven - and bravo <i>you,/i> for recognising a mistake.
[for those a little confused, Ponheary went on a little trip to Lounge Hell - but she came back. There was a brief exchange of words, since deleted...] |
Thanks for the quick response Amy!
|
wow thanks for the rescue from the lounge! Mr. Dog, please give me a shout when you're here. I look forward to another evening spent solving all the world's problems with you...
here is the trailer link, there are two trailers http://tinyurl.com/2g62uza Here are the airtimes. It's ON TODAY!!! We've got a TV set up in the kitchen and everyone we know is gathered today to watch it. A very happy time for Ponheary, the family and 2354 cambodian children. By the way, the full length one hour special airing on CNN will have clips of ponheary TOURING AT ANGKOR WAT... :) 2010 CNN HEROES AIR SCHEDULE **all times are EST **times after the slashes are re-airs FRIDAY June 18 CNN: 8-9a, 11a-12p*, 2-3p HLN: 6:30-7a, 1:30-2, 5-6p/6-7p, 8-9p/10-11p/1-2a CNNInternational: 2a, 7a, 8p *Note: we may not always air during times with * SATURDAY CNN: 10-11a, 3-4p, 5-6p, 10-11p/1-2a HLN: 8-8:30a, 2-2:30p CNN en Espanol Monday: Premiere in Panorama Mundial 9pm EST Tuesday: various Sunday: Mirador Mundial 7pm |

It was also on Larry King last night. I don't usually watch Larry as he is such a lousy interviewer- but in clicking around I found that he had a clip of her on last night!
|
I got an email from Cheryl this morning (she's at a meeting in Denver) who saw this on CNN and said it was excellent. She said she bets the PLF will get many donations as a result of this. I hope so!
|
I just saw it on CNN at the office. The piece is exactly the same as what you see on the website - it is short and does not begin to tell the story but that is what media is about these days. In any case, it was great that the Cambodian school children received this publicity and, hopefully viewers will connect the dots and donate to the Foundation.
As offwego said, there are two trailers - one on Ponheary and one on Lori Carlson (offwego). The one that is on CNN is on Ponheary. |
Excellent! So great to see. We were at Ko Ker school in 2006 too long ago!
|
I checked in with the CNN website while reviewing the day's news and was shocked and delighted to see Ponheary's face front and center for the main story!!! I met her back in '05 while backpacking with my sister. I am absolutely ecstatic to see Lori and Ponheary to be receiving this coverage - I hope it will bring great things! As an educator, I thank you for the work you are doing.
|
This is wonderful! We all left part of our hearts in Siem Reap back in 2006 when touring with Dara and going back to the house to meet Ponheary and the family was one of the most moving experiences of any travel anywhere, ever. Great work, Lori, and best wishes to you, Ponheary, and all at the PLF.
|
Thanks everybody.
Don't be disheartened Craig. It was but a snippet, but already the exposure is paying off. If she makes the top 10, she'll get the full story told. They were here 2 days and took some amazing footage in the village and school at koh ker, in addition to Ponheary touring at the temples and teaching a class at school. I hope she makes the cut just so I can see the whole enchilada! |
Lori tell Pon she looked FABULOUS and so do you!
I am so happy that you are all finally getting the exposure for the children that you've worked so hard for and they richly deserve. How do we help Ponheary make the top 10? Is there a way to vote? Aloha! |
Hi HT
There's a panel of judges that decides the top ten (sometime In Sept) Then there's a thanksgiving special on CNN that features the top 10 and then viewers vote. I'll post again if she makes it and we'll circle the wagons. Fingers crossed! Lori |
We'll be in Sikkim, but I'm hoping we'll have internet access and can vote for Ponheary.
|
I saw it on CNN about an hour ago. It was short but well done and exciting to see. Lori, do let us know if she gets to the top 10.
