The Khmer Post needs your help - An appeal by Khmer Unity for Cambodia (KUC)

Dear All,

Mr. Sovannara Meach, Director and Founder of KPR, talked to us asking for financial support from everyone including KUC members who might be able to support KPR to pay for the Satellite Broadcasting directly from USA to Cambodia and Khmer Krom, Khmer Leur. The cost of 3 hours a week starting September 14,2011 is $200/hour or $600/week or $2400/month. A Business man in Chicago agreed to pay for the 1st month fee of $2400.

This broadcasting to our homeland is vital to let all people who live in Cambodia to hear the truth of the problems we have in Cambodia. Since many Cambodians only hear the news from the CTN and the TV stations who only talked highly about the current government(besides Radio Sambok Khmum), it is time that they should know the real truth that we have heard from the Khmer Post Radio on the computers.

In August, 2011, I and my husband went the do the networking for KUC in Long Beach, San Jose, Fresno, San Diego. We had a chance to visit twice Mr Sonnnara Meach, his wife and his 3 lovely daughters at their 2 bedrooms( 1 bedrom is occupied by a relative),1 bath rented house in Long Beach. Before the visit, we have heard rumors about Mr. Sovannara's possible income from Mr. Hun Sen, CIA or US government. I asked Mr Sovannara about the rumors which he denied all of them and that he said he has got some income from donations from the KPR listeners and the advertisement on Khmer Post newspapers and that all his trips were paid by the people who invited him to their function. We believe that Mr. Sovannara really needs the financial supports from all of us and Khmers around the world in order for him to continue to provide the free services in radio broadcasting and newpapers especially the satellite broadcasting.

I realize that it has been a hard time for all of us due to the poor economy, the recession and for the expenses paid by some of KUC members who travelled to California conference in June and in August for the KUC networking especially for the future expense for attending the National Conference in Washington in the coming October 21 to 23,2011. But to assist the KPR broadcasting to Cambodia by AM radio is very urgent and very crucial for our people in Cambodia to know about all the problems in Cambodia and hopefully for Khmers inside and outside of Cambodia to work together to SAVE OUR MOTHERLAND FROM THE INVASION OF THE VIETNAMESES.

Having said all the above, I pledge to all of you to reach deeper into your pockets, your heart or to skip your family lunch or dinner out once a month and to send that money( credit card is accepted) to KPR to support the expenses especially for the satellite Broadcasting either $5, $10, $20, $30....$50, $100 or more per month.

Please send Mr Sovannara Meach the donation to the address on the KPR website if you are able and willing to donate to KPR . The website is thekhmerpost.com. Thank you all in advance.

May Buddha and God bless Cambodia, all of you and your Family.
