Making a difference
It was an amazing afternoon at the Haverstraw Elementary School where some four hundreds bright young eyes with an unusual look focusing on me at the same time.
They were eyes of those children who saw for the first time a man who could make a difference in their lives, a man who could bring them hope, courage and success.
That man was me: Timothy Chhim, a person who escaped the Killing Field, the most heinous crime of this century. How did I do it? You will see a bit and piece of it via their testimonies below...
Many thanks to Mrs. Suzanna Chhim-Parisi for making this wonderful event happened...
I thank you, too, guys, for giving me a great opportunity to share my past with you and most importantly for paying close attention to my personal story. Your testimonies were very moving and they made me feel so special, indeed.
Yes, soon you will have an opportunity to read a short version of my journey and then with the help of that little guy sitting on my shoulder, some publishing companies will decide that this story is worth sharing with millions of young adults out there and later on the adult version will also be published.... That is the plan. Stay tuned.
I am going to make some comments regarding your meaningful letter later on when I have time. I love to show the world your name and signature; but for your own privacy, I blocked them. I know that you know which letter belongs to you and belongs to your friends if you happen to view my blog.
Here they are... and be patient. Everyone of them is going to be posted here!
