On Thursday, December 23, The Hep B Project was invited to attend an interview on ABC channel 7, which was then broadcasted on television.
“I had a great time visiting SF and being in the audience. The show tackled interesting real life issues, combined with humor,” said Johnny Pham. “I enjoyed the hosts and their jokes. It was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be on live TV.”
Although not a more focused interview on The Hep B Project, as expected, it was still an experience and a good opportunity for the project.
Said Adele Feng, “Although Kevin’s screen time was shorter than anticipated, it was enough to spread the word about our project and shed some light on this public health disparity.”
Each volunteer took away a unique experience.
“I personally thought this was a great and unique experience. The show itself was quite interesting and entertaining. Both the hosts and people from the audience were very friendly and welcoming,” said Myo Wong. “Our Hep B Project group sat in the ‘voicebox’ where we had a chance to interact with one of the show’s hosts, Brian. Kevin Hur, the founder of the project, got a chance to talk about the Hep B Project and the Pepsi Refresh grant that we received earlier this year. Definitely go check out the video on their website!”
Here are some pictures from the event:
