Profiles in Caring- interview with Ponheary

A group called "Profiles in Caring" aired a short documentary about Ponheary and her work on their website. Thought you might want to check it out...

After watching I am reminded again about what great work she and Lori are doing, and it made me want to go back to Cambodia!

I love the outtake at the end when the lights go out while they're interviewing her!

I agree. This company presented them with a check for $10,000 recently for their efforts. Lori was saying the price of rice is getting pretty high and that's a cause for concern.

Hopefully this video will bring more people into the family of donors!

I watched the videos yesterday and forwarded the link to a couple of people. What lovely videos! I, too, hope it will bring more financial support for the wonderful work Ponheary and the PLF do!

Digging up this old thread to post an update on this video, for all those who like to keep up with what Ponheary is doing in Siem Reap.

Lori, thanks for posting this. It is both inspirational and heartbreaking. Heaven knows there's enough need here in Indonesia, but Cambodia holds a special place in our hearts.
