We are sincerely grateful for the amazing support American Airlines has provided for our work helping orphans and vulnerable children.
This support and the Miles for Kids in Need, allows us to provide loving escorts for children traveling to the U.S. and back for donated surgery, on the most important journey of their lives. This is one of our most unique programs for airline personnel. See below this touching letter from the coordinators of the program:
We, the trip coordinators for the Airline Ambassadors Children’s Medical Escort Program would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for all the support given us by American Airlines over the past 19 years. Our airline employee and retiree volunteers donate their time to help make life better for children from around the world as they accompany them to various cities throughout the U.S. where they will have donated medical care that, in many cases means the difference between life and death for a child. American recognizes the importance of our volunteer service to these children and supports us every step of the way. For this we are very, very grateful and, in fact could not continue without this support.
With sincere appreciation,
Children’s Medical Escort Program

Sponsor a Human Trafficking Awareness training at an Airport near you!
One way to support Airline Ambassadors and help your community is to help raise funding to sponsor an anti-trafficking training in your city. This event will raise awareness around the issue of Human Trafficking in the airline/travel industry and bring together local partners in combatting this horrific crime which is happening every day through airport hubs which are natural distribution points for traffickers and their victims.
Airports are centers of infrastructure in each major city and airport trainings can provide the basis for bringing together government, corporate and NGO leaders around this issue with a shared protocol to recognize and report human trafficking incidents. Formal anti-trafficking training is essential to ensure that the public and law enforcement have a shared base understanding of the impact of this crime and its impact on victims, such as trauma and dependency.
Anti-Trafficking Training: Recognize It, Report It
Airline Ambassadors International (AAI) is the only charity with roots in the airline industry and since 2009 has helped position the travel industry at the forefront of combating human trafficking.
Airline Ambassadors has developed an effective 90 minute copyrighted program to address the high rate of trafficking in the travel industry. Key elements of the training include:
- Background and overview of human trafficking
- How to recognize human trafficking indicators
- Protocol for reporting “tips” to law enforcement
- Resources for support
Trainers, including survivors of human trafficking, and airline personnel present real world examples of human trafficking on airlines. AAI has found that training session participants often have additional questions and concerns, these materials make AAI available to the attendees for any questions they may have in the future. AAI also provides the following to training participants:
- A wallet card highlighting the indications of a human trafficking and the # to report the incident
(so far distributed to over 12,000 flight crew and other participants). - Educational brochure and two hand outs as reference materials
- Pre and post survey assessments to gauge their experience, understanding of the issue
- A certification card or certificate after successfully completing the course.
Agency authorities, travel industry employees, and government officials have commented that AAI’s trainings were enlightening, effective, and needed. As a result, thousands of airline and travel personnel, hotel employees, tourism companies, and travelers have correctly identified and reported human trafficking. AAI also provided the first training for international flight crew and transportation in Europe in Kiev Ukraine 2013 as well as in London, UK and at Interpol Headquarters in Lyon France.
Partnership Opportunity $3,000 (per airport or location)
AAI proposes a unique sponsorship opportunity for individuals, clubs, companies, schools or churches to raise awareness and educate the transportation, hospitality and the public on action steps to stop human trafficking.
- AAI will present at the relevant locations its anti-trafficking Recognize It, Report Ittraining
o Training is 90 minutes, including remarks and AAI’s 60-minute training presentation, Q&A, speaker discussion
- Opportunity for local government officials to introduce the program and provide closing remarks
- Sponsor logo on posters and signage and press releases promoting training.
- Social media posts recognizing sponsor as a partner and electronic materials etc.
- Hyperlink of AAI website and opportunity to use AAI logo on sponsor’s website
- Spotlight article in AAI newsletter and logo and recognition in AAI Annual Report.
Training is a proven anti-trafficking training program that will enable flight crew to provide vital intelligence in the fight to end human trafficking. With over 80% of human trafficking victims being transported transnationally, travelers and travel personnel are on the front lines of this issue. Through sponsoring the AAI’s anti-trafficking training program “Recognize It, Report It”, you will be directly contributing to the efforts to combat this horrific crime against humanity.

Bravo to Brett Halverson who is the top fundraiser for Airline Ambassadors and he hasn’t even started college yet!
Brett Halverson has been associated with AAI since 2011 when, at 13 years of age, he earned the rank of Eagle Scout by collecting toys and supplies and hand-delivering them to the Zamni Bene Orphanage in Croix de Bouquets, Haiti for children orphaned by the 2010 earthquake. After a devastating hurricane in 2012, he also led his scout troop in collecting thousands of dental supplies for the tent camps of Port au Prince. Nancy Rivard, President of AAI personally escorted Brett to the orphanage, which enabled him to complete requirements to become an Eagle Scout. To thank her for that help, Brett decided to raise money toward one of AAI’s educational projects, the cost of which was $25,000.00. He first gave speeches to local civic groups in the Sacramento area, raising $550.00, and then applied for a grant for $24,450.00. On May 18th, 2015, the grant was approved and a check for $25,000.00 was sent to AAI. Brett is very proud to have contributed to the project which will help pay for school uniforms, supplies and food for 500 children in five different countries. Brett plans to travel this July to Colombia to see for himself one of the projects his initiative has impacted!
Brett is a graduate of Jesuit High School (’15) in Carmichael, CA. Active in sports, he qualified twice for the National Championships in saber fencing and he has a passion for cars of all types. Brett will attend Indiana University in the fall, majoring in business and industrial design.
Thanks to ML Murray, author of the delightful children’s book – Plane Manners, AAI team members enjoyed a great tour of FOX studios and newscasters were really interested to hear about our work combatting Human Trafficking.
Bravo to Medical Escort, Kathy Savage at the PEK airport getting ready to bring little XIN to CVG for burn reconstruction surgery. She was scared to leave her father, but will come back to be able to live a normal life, very soon.
Monday, June 29 for Human Trafficking Awareness Training took place at the Marriott Newark International Liberty Airport.
It was an honor to have Sara Nelson, President of the Association of Flight Attendants join the team and arrange for the space at the Marriott. Also to the Runaway Bridesmaids who raised funds for this event.
Many thanks to Classroom 24/7 who filmed the training http://cdn.classroom24-7.com//gtl_llm/20150330_33_650/aa.mp4 highlighting presentations by trainers, Michele Krick, Alicia Kozakeiwitcz and Jessica Reiss.
We all felt helpless when the terrible disaster hit Nepal. AAI is responding by re-launching a relationship with Dooley Intermed’s flight attendant program, providing relief to children and families. See this LINK
In 1976 Pan American World Airways launched this program to allow “stewardesses” to be granted a three month leave of absence without pay, to voluntarily work in the various projects which in turn agreed to provide them with room, board and health care while Pan Am provided transportation to and from the project sites. The “stewardesses” worked along-side Intermed’s doctors and nurses in its clinics, hospitals, orphanages and schools or wherever there was a need for extra help. They were assigned to project sites in India, Nepal, Viet Nam, Laos, Nicaragua and Thailand.
Eleven national and international airlines soon agreed to cooperate in this effort allowing their own flight crew to work in Intermed’s, projects. Over the 20 years 230 stewardesses from the various airlines participated in this humanitarian effort carried out by these courageous, dedicated volunteers. They were called upon to do tasks which most had never done before – – help the doctors in a Laotian clinic – – use puppets to teach hygiene and public health in Thailand – – assist the Intermed doctors in carrying out immunization programs in Nepal.
I’m personally very proud of the Stewardess Program, and it is my belief, that this unique undertaking represented charity at its very finest. Verne Chaney founder, Dooley Intermed
The Dooley Foundation and Wilderness International were honored at a fundraiser at New York’s Explorers Club on May 20. Buddist Monk Kehmpo Pema Wangdak blessed each participant for their efforts with a special “kata” prayer scarf.
AAI’s Kate Jewell worked in Nepal with the program in the 1970’s and loves the Nepali people. She reached out to Scott Hamilton, the Executive Director to restart the program. Kate will lead a follow up mission in September to kick off 8 missions this year to support AIRINTERMED, teams of 2 – 4 will leave every two weeks to work at an orphanage and Eco farm in the Sanku Valley…..Click HERE for itinerary and email Kate at drkatejewell@yahoo.com

Follow your airline’s policy to report a tip immediately. This could be through ACARS or the Domestic Event Network (DEN). There may be a Federal Air Marshall (FAM) on your flight. While the FAM’s primary concern is aviation security, you may inform him or her of suspected human trafficking – if you can do so without compromising the FAM’s anonymity. Because of the sensitivity of the FAM’s mission, use the option only as a last resort.
