CNN Heroes -- Cambodian School Teacher Ponheary Ly

I hope by sharing these CNN heros series -- it can inspire all of us to work on a cause that we feel strongly about or support these people in our own little ways.

Many impoverished children in rural Cambodia do not have access to adequate funds to procure uniforms, shoes and their school supplies in order to attend primary school. The Ponheary Ly Foundation provides these "school bundles" to children who would otherwise not be going to school. Once all the children from a village are present at their school and properly equipped, the PLF supports the school sufficiently to provide a quality of education that is equal to that which is accessible in the urban communities.
