Call To Action
Mexico:
Airline
Ambassadors' Adopted Project in Mexico,
Casa
de Paz,
Needs Hot, Healthy
Water for Food and Bathing
Casa de
Paz is one of
the
largest orphanages
south
of
Ensenada, Mexico,
with
more
than 75 children,
10
of them with
special
needs.
Through
recent economic challenges, they have lost the financial
support
and rely totally on donations from the states and charitable
organizations. They recently have been neglected because of
issues such as gas prices, the falling value of the dollar,
passport
requirements
and the escalating violence in Tijuana. An immediate
need
is to keep their propane gas from being turned off
because of
delinquency
in payment.
Without
propane they will no longer be able to cook the children's food or
bathe.
AAI
Mexico Mission Coordinator, Becky Gahman, reports about the December
trip in Stories
From The Field.

Dec. 19, 2008 -- Charity Flight to Haiti -- $1M in
aid delivered!
This event went off
without a hitch. Many
thanks to William
Dise and George
Hazy, Gen. Manager for
American Airlines in
Miami.
American
lent us an
A-300 aircraft - and
Ruth
Matranga, our Miami
Director, coordinated a
crew
of 11 volunteers
(pilots and flight
attendants).
The cargo hold
was filled and we stuffed
every overhead bin
with aid.
FourTV crews also
joined the flight.
Many thanks to Leslie Sosnowski who paid for most
of the fuel via a
donation to Airline Ambassadors.
Our
success for this mission was due particularly to
American Airlines and
we never could have
accomplished so much
without this spectacular
support -- largely to you,
Frank Campagna!
Thank you!
