Help for Haiti

Airline Ambassadors teams provided $25,000 of in-kind aid and more than $10,000 to support LaFeve School and All God’s Children’s Orphanage in Haiti. We provided school supplies, school sponsorship, $ to reinforce a new library and coordinated a dance party, pool party and even a Concert for the Kids with Timmy Thomas and Alana Joy of New Generation! Check out the video from our very own star reporter - journalist - Sandy Dhuyvetter of TravelTalk Media - Link to preliminary video and picture gallery.

MIRACLE – Our July team turned lemons into lemonade when their trip was extended due to the challenges with standby travel. They stumbled upon a needy orphanage of 24 kids called "Cobba".

Construction had not begun on the school as the orphanage did not have enough lumber to complete it.  Due to a series of synchronicities - and a generous donor, Gilbert Ramos of Eco-Building Products -
we manifested all the lumber needed to finish the school! Deanna plans a return trip in October to review its progress!

Orphan Lift

THANK YOU to those that volunteer each month for our Children’s Escort program and there is simply not room to share all the stories.
Here is ONE:

Bravo to dozens of AAI volunteers and support from American Airlines facilitating the complicated transfer for 180 orphans from dozens of flights to their connections back to Ukraine and Latvia on Aug. 2.

Volunteer escorts from American Airlines and American Eagle traveled with kids from all over the U.S. to JFK returning home after spending a 5 week summer holiday.

The trip was coordinated by New Horizons and the kids each stayed with foster families throughout the United States. At JFK, American Airlines provided breakfast, lunch, movies and gifts for kids in their terminal and everyone left for Latvia and the Ukraine that afternoon without a hitch. Special thanks to Margaret Whitehead, Director of our Escort Program, and Wayne Lee who managed the process on location and David Lombard of American Airlines! Click here to view photographs.

Safe House Dedications

Kudos to AAI’s Dave Rivard, Claude Bazille and Virgil Pierrsant who have overseen construction of Safe Houses at seven locations in Haiti. Airline Ambassadors was commissioned by UNICEF to build these houses to provide a safe, clean place for the Bureau of Protection of Minors (a division of the Haitian police) to place children that they picked up who had been victims of abuse, trafficking or abandonment.

"Thank you American Airlines"

AAI’s teams in June and July dedicated the Safe House in Port au Prince to the International Tour Management Institute and the location in Mirebalais to Hilton Worldwide.
