Davik Teng, the Cambodian girl brought to the United States for life-altering open-heart surgery by a Long Beach nonprofit earlier this year, will be featured on network television this weekend.
She will be one of four children spotlighted Sunday at 3:30 p.m., on KABC-TV Channel 7 in a show titled "Imagine - A Celebration of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles."
The documentary, produced and paid for by Childrens Hospital, will examine Davik's journey from rural Cambodia to repair of a ventricular septal defect, or hole, in her heart.
Davik's journey was covered by the Press-Telegram. For these stories, photos of Davik's visit and the multimedia presentation, visit http://lang.presstelegram.com/flash/cambodia/index.asp.

Thanks US for helping children in Cambodia.
I wonder if Peter Chhun can find someone to sponsor Davik's mom, then they all can come back to live in the US.
