The Best of Kara David

      Kara David's mission as a broadcast journalist has always been to use mass media as a vehicle to deepen the capacity to empathize with the powerless.  She has almost a hundred documentaries to her name.  But it is her documentaries on children that have had the most impact.

      Many have said Kara's gift for writing is unparalled among broadcast journalists of her generation.  She has won 7 international awards and 3 local awards including the Rotary Club of Manila's 2007 Broadcast of the year.
