Airline Ambassadors, LDS Charities and Military
Join Forces to Bring Aid to Colombia
On September 24, 2008, 30,000 lbs of hospital supplies (valued over $1M) will arrive in San Juan del Guaviare thanks to the combined efforts of the Colombian Army and the Colombian National Police.
Airline Ambassadors International put together this unique collaborative effort with the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) Charities in Colombia after a call for help from the US Civil Affairs personnel stationed in So. Colombia in April.
LDS Charities in Salt Lake City, UT generously provided over 40,000 lbs of medical aid for this hospital. Over 50,000 lbs still awaits shipment from Homestead Airbase in Miami to Colombia.

Bravo to:
Mireille Hanna for Building a Place for Kindergarteners!
Help Mireille and AAI raise funds for an Airline Ambassadors project to build a kindergarten in Dolores, Eastern Samar, Republic of the Philippines.
The room that serves as a kindergarten for the children in the Malobago area is a tiny 13 ft X 13 ft area in the back of a medical dispensary where 35 kids are squashed together with no space for any activities. Please help to give the children of the Malobago community an environment where they can learn and play.
 The municipality is offering land and labor if Airline Ambassadors will raise the money for materials.
