CNN Heroes »A Nepali girl who once lived in prison with her mom now has a brighter future thanks to CNN Hero Pushpa Basnet.
Its not just Pushpa but many other jewels in the world who have done great courageous work that has always made them come together with people to solve the crisis of the status they have been working on. CNN Heroes has been one such tremendous acknowledge effort . Started from 2007, it has been supporting many such great people .
I still recall the year 2010 when i with View Your Choice- तपाईको सोचाई हाम्रो रोजाई - team was requested for the campaign by the nominator Nisha Pradhan. We thank Nisha, Samrat and Sadikshya who actually networked us to make that happen. And much more with all who been so actively involved from worldwide including Sushil Raj Joshi and the team of Satya Shakti Advertising. I still recall the moment when i directly communicated with colleagues at Turner Broadcasting for the campaign and they were so much supportive for all we were doing as well. With all small initiation and worldwide campaigns we were glad media and other organizations also took the campaign ahead with mega programs for Anuradha Di.
Back to CNN Heroes again , then it was Robin Lim as CNN Hero of the year 2011 and now in the year 2012 we are hoping a lot that Pushpa Basnet will make it as CNN Hero of the year 2012. Yes indeed, we are already glad that Pushpa has made it to Top 10 of CNN Heroes.
Before anyone predicts and guess on who is the next CNN Hero of the Year here is an interview of Pushpa with CNN on November 19th, 2012.
