Zach Hunter didn’t win his round in the voting for the Dec. 6 CNN Heroes special, but Somaly Mam is in the final round. Somaly is a woman who has dedicated her life to rescuing young women from sex slavery in Cambodia.
My understanding is that the Dec. 6 CNN special will tell the stories of all six finalists, including Somaly. Each finalist represents a different category, including Defending the Planet, Medical Marvel, Fighting for Justice (this is Somaly’s category), Community Crusader, Championing Children and Young Wonder. But the voting continues for the top hero of all.
Please vote, and help send the message of how important it is that we fight to end modern-day slavery in all its forms.

Hi, I'm the girl who sent the email to Miss Amanda. CNN was contacted and they said that not all our votes for Zach were counted,even though they had said you could vote as often as you want. Otherwise, Zach probably would have won.
Thanks for commenting, Michaela, and thanks for telling Amanda about the voting!
