从恐惧到希望一个孟加拉男孩的奇迹重生(下)
A Simple E-maill
Among the networks that aired Okkhoy’s story was CNN. And among those watching it was a businessman some 8,000 miles away in Columbus, Ohio, named Aram Kovach.
“Usually we see something horrible on TV and we go, ‘Oh goodness, that’s horrible.’But then we move on,” Kovach says.
