CNN Heroes Backstage live blog Live


Congrats to 2012 CNN Hero of the Year Pushpa Basnet! She’s the second Nepalese woman to win the honor. Anuradha Koirala was the 2010 CNN Hero of the Year.

"This is for my children, and this is for my country Nepal," she said in her acceptance speech. "Thank you so much everybody who voted for me and who believed in my dream."
