Phymean’s Full Speech on CNN Heroes

Hi Phymean, I feel so proud to be Cambodian even though I spend more than 2/3 of my life so far outside of Cambodia when I see a real full of heart Khmer like you. I'm so moving and so sad when I see the short documentary on CNN what you have done to help those unfortunate children. But at the same time I'm so happy and proud and helpful to know that people like you can make a different in life for these children. Sometime I feel ashamed that I could not do more to help my unfortunate beloved people in Cambodia. I myself have 3 young children living in America I try to teach my children, to inform them how lucky we are in America and to show/tell them there are so many unfortunate children living in Cambodia. I would love to bring my children to visit the children of your organization and bring whatever we can computers, books, clothes next time we visit our beloved country Cambodia. In the meantime I would like to help support what I can (you will hear from me soon, I just need to look at different options about the donation that you mention in this website). I would like to encourage all Cambodian oversee to take a look, to inform, to follow your steps, to support your work that can make a life changing event for them and the unfortunate Cambodian children. Thank you, thank you for a million times on behalf of these unfortunate kids :). Please write to me .... Dara

Hello Phymean, It was an honor to meet a super hero like yourself. What an inspiration for all of us...especially those that are also Cambodian. You are a giant among us and the world will be a better place because of people like you. Thank you so much! Samnang

Congratulations! Maritza

Phymean, You have been a hero in my eyes and in the hearts of my family. How proud we are of your work and the joy, opportunity and selflessness you are giving to many beautiful children and their families. Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to help out by sponsoring a child, many, many miles away. May the world become familiar with your work and the Peoples Improvement Organization. Congratulations on your award and recognition; may many blessings follow.

Hi Bong Srey Phymean, I feel so moving and touching by your great achievements and pure spirit in helping unfortunate Cambodian children in Cambodia. Your name, Noun Phymean, is like a bible which is already translated as: in Khmer language "NOUN" = lovely; and PHYMEAN = temple or properous house. So, NOUN + PHYMEAN= Lovely and Prosperous House or Temple. Yes, that is true and yes you are. You are the lovely, peaceful, harmonious temple or house for all those children out there. You are the light, the hope and the soul of their dreams. The dream that they can not reach without your presence and our involvement. Your parents must be so proud that they gave you this name for this purpose. They are not disappointed with what you have done. Your heart, spirit, actions, words, thoughts and dreams follow exactly the same as your full name. I pray that there will be many more heroes and heroines like you to develop Cambodia. I believe those heroes and heroines are among those unfornate children that are being transformed by your hard work and effort. Right now, you are shaping up their society into a lovely, peaceful, harmonious and prosperous society in order to make them grow and pursue their dreams. I believe that the Hero award that CNN presented you is a greatest award to recognize your great achievements so far and it is telling you that you are heading to the right direction in helping humanity. In addition to this, you were already given one priceless award that no one can buy it or give it to you or take it from you is your Spirit, Pure and Sentitive Heart with full of love towards Cambodian children, parents and people around the world. You are leading us by example and now you are calling for our help. I said WHY NOT to join you to prosper the country and make the world a better place, a place that provides clean water, education, friendly and peaceful environment, good children playgrounds, enough food to eat so that those children will have a chance to pursue their dreams. The place that you have been paving the way for us to go through your right step of helping directly those poor children in Cambodia. I will visit your project one day soon and I have to figure out how much I can help you to make a difference in those children's lives through your temple of love. I will keep in touch with you soon by email. David.
