Davik Teng in Cambodia
Long Beach Press-Telegram reporter Greg Mellen and photographer Jeff Gritchen are in Cambodia covering the effort to bring DaVik Teng to the U.S. for heart surgery. They have been blogging about it since February 6. Mellen posts:

I thought it would take a rare incident indeed for me to ever return. Little did I know. And here I am, back in the Kingdom, reacting to the call of a child. DaVik Teng has never laid eyes on me. I am as foreign as all the wondrous sights she will soon see. DaVik's story is what has lured me back. It is a rare chance and a hopefully rare and wonderful tale that we will tell in the coming weeks. But for now, suffice it to say that Cambodia calls us. It's song as gentle and bell clear as ever.
