CORONA ON KOCE

Last March, Corona del Mar High School’s Anthro Club sponsored a

tsunami relief benefit concert to help students at the Dow Roong

Wittaya School in Phuket, Thailand. Tonight, KOCE will screen

“Calming the Waters,” a film about Thailand featuring a segment about

the Corona del Mar High students. KOCE’s Peter Murphy visits the

Asian country to find how it is coping in the wake of the disaster --

and how donations from the West have helped it to heal.

“Calming the Waters” screens tonight at 7:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.
