Call To Action

Airline Ambassadors' Adopted Project, in Cameroon,

Nursery/Primary School in Kumba

Reverend Sone Charles,

Senior Pastor of Light

and Life Mission in

Cameroon, knows that

the only hope the youth,

in Cameroon, have is an

education.

The Nursery / Primary School

needs support and you can

sponsor a child by donating any amount for books, chairs, and

transportation, and help us begin the process of changing the lives of the

children.

Our goal for the future is

to help fund a new vocational

and agricultural center.  We

plan to initiate computer

acquisition and training and

begin sewing classes so that

these children will have

dreams, hope, and self-

sustaining futures ahead

of them!

To read more about Cameroon, please visit the Cameroon Brochure and

read Reverend Michael Reynen's Journal, too.  If you can help the Kumba

Nursery/Primary School with a donation of any amount, please visit our

Donate to a Project page.

The "Champions for

Children" program at

American Airlines, gives flight

attendants the opportunity

to volunteer, while on the job,

to collect donations for

UNICEF. 

This February, a team of

Champions traveled to 

Honduras to film a new

in-flight video.   The group

of volunteers visited

projects that they helped

to fund.  They described

the experience as " inspiring

and rewarding." 

Later, this spring, you will see the new video taken

of the trip on American

Airlines' flights!.
