Davik Teng, the Cambodian girl brought to the United States for life-altering open-heart surgery by a Long Beach nonprofit earlier this year and whose journey was chronicled by the Press-Telegram, will be featured on network television this weekend.
She will be one of four children spotlighted Sunday at 3:30 p.m., on KABC Channel 7 in a one-hour show titled "Imagine -- A Celebration of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles."
The documentary, produced and paid for by Childrens Hospital, will examine Davik's journey from rural Cambodia to repair of a ventricular septal defect, or hole, in her heart. Childrens Hospital donated its facilties and staff for Davik's operation.
Hearts Without Boundaries, the nonprofit that helped save Davik and is now working to bring a young boy to the states for a similar surgery.
