On December 9, 2010, Heifer Cambodia Country Director Keo Keang was invited by Southeast Asia Television Vision (SEATV), a local well-known and popular television network, for an interview on Heifer's mission, activities and achievements in Cambodia. The interview, which was broadcast throughout Cambodia and some other parts of the world, was on a television program known as "CEO Forum," focusing mainly on company/organizational backgrounds and experiences of outstanding leaders in leadership and management toward successes.
During her 20-minute interview with SEATV, Ms. Keo Keang introduced the audience to Heifer's history, vision and mission and how Heifer Cambodia program works with community people to battle poverty and hunger and restore Cambodian social morality after decades of Cambodian civil war. With Heifer gifts and support, the community people have made a great change in terms of their lives and attitudes by applying the Heifer model and approach. She also addressed the challenges experienced during the program implementation and how to turn those challenges into successes.
“I encourage community people to help themselves first before others help them,” said Keo Keang at the end of her interview. She added, “I also encourage men to further support women's activities. Through Heifer project implementation, women in the communities have been empowered to achieve amazing things as they overcome massive odds to achieve their dreams – fighting for their right to an education, a job, decent health care and a life free from violence.”
