HOST(IN KHMER): Hallo, friendly viewers, and welcome to Good People, Good Works on Supreme Master Television. Today’s program features the first of a two-part series that profiles Angkor Hospital for Children, a full-service pediatric hospital based in Siem Reap, Cambodia that provides compassionate charity medical care to the youngsters of the local community and neighboring provinces.

The hospital was established in 1999 by internationally acclaimed photographer Kenro Izu who travels the world taking images of sacred sites – from the pyramids of Egypt to the Caves of the 10,000 Buddhas in western China.

Besides providing quality pediatric care, the facility also serves as a clinical training center for Cambodian medical professionals. Ms. Sinketh Arun, Angkor Hospital for Children’s Director of Public Relations now speaks about Mr. Izu and why he founded the facility.

Ms. Arun (f): First I would like to thank Supreme Master TV for giving us the opportunity to give the information about the hospital. Angkor Hospital for Children was started by a Japanese photographer; his name is Kenro Izu.

He first came to Cambodia during 1993. And the first time he came, he spent time doing his photography at the Angkor Wat Temple and then he met with many children at that time.

Ms. Arun (f): And some children were sick and it seemed like the children didn’t have very good care or any medical care from any medical facility in Siem Reap during that time.

HOST:  When Mr. Izu returned to Cambodia to take photographs a year later, he went to the provincial hospital in Siem Reap to learn more about the health services available to the local children.
Ms. Arun (f): And then he spent time visiting the provincial hospital. And then he found a child with her father from the countryside, and the child was sick with a serious condition.

The child was brought by the father to the provincial hospital, but at that time the medical facility was not so good. And then one day later, the child died during his visit.

He heard the story about the child dying and he was moved by the story of that child, and he decided to do something for the Cambodians.
