Hello Phymean,
I saw you and your work on TV: CNN Heros.
I was inspired by you and the other CCN Heros.
Your story in particular is most moving for me.
I wish to talk/email you about your work with the poor children in the landfill sites and how I can assist you with the poor children of Cambodia.
I am an artist/architect and I have some ideas on how to create art out of materials found in landfill sites. I wish to share my thoughts with you. I see you and I live in the same city of Toronto. Perhaps we could meet and discuss our mutal passion to help these deserving, yet neglected children.
Sincerely,
Nelson Wong
Hi Phymean,
I saw your story today on T.V. and have read a lot about it. I was very moved by what you have done to help those children. I would love to help out in any way that I can. Are there any school supplies that you are in desperate need of? Please let me know and I would be more than happy to try and help.
Sincerely,
Lauren Tortorici
