Live Together - New Generation

Check out the newly released remake of Timmy Thomas's 1972 legendary hit  "Why Can't We Live Together".  Timmy Thomas, Alana Joy and Kidd Wes will join our mission to Haiti to dedicate Safe Houses. They have dedicated some profits from their song to support our efforts to combat child trafficking!

Safe House Dedications

AAI teams will officially dedicate our newly built Safe Houses in Port au Prince and Mirebalais to the Intl Tour Management Institute and Hilton Worldwide.  These facilities were built by AAI and will provide a clean and uplifting temporary location for young people that are rescued by the police, before finding their families, or an appropriate orphanage or foster care situation  Click HERE to read more about the Mission June 14-16, 2012.

Call to Action - Education and Feeding programs in Haiti

Our June team will hand deliver funding for school fees, teachers salaries and provide school supplies to La Feve School at the Delmas 31 Tent Camp.  These teachers and students are dependent solely on AAI in order to operate and our ongoing support is so needed and appreciated.

We will also provide a meal for all 75 orphans at All God's Children Orphanage as well as a new bowls and spoons.

Pastor Yves who runs this facility also provides schools nutritious meals to thousands of children throughout the country and is one of the most deserving projects we have found.   $3,000 is needed to rebuild a virtual classroom and library. $4,000 more for these projects are needed and 100% are hand delivered. Thank you for support. Click Here to donate.

We will provide a concert for the kids with Timmy Thomas, Alana Joy and Kid Wess. The kids are already learning the lyrics to Why Can't We Live Together, and the deaf kids are learning to sign so they can "sing along" at the concert. Check out this link to All God's Children Orphanage  that will give you background of this facility.      Back to Top

The Tipping Point

"You NEVER know when you will be the Tipping Point" said Deb Quigley as she reflected on little Carl at Zamni Beni orphanage.  Deb had first met Carl last October, and pushed to get his little club feet corrected while he was still young enough to make the correction.  Dozens of groups had said they would help but it was Deb's initiative that was the tipping point to make it happen.  This is what Airline Ambassadors work is all about about taking the initiative to show we care and pass it on. Click this video which represents the spirit of our work. Our kindness and caring  creates miracles.

Cosmopolitan Magazine features our own Petra Hensley

CNN, aired a global piece on our Human Trafficking Training and featured a sound bite from one of our trainers, Petra Hensley, a trafficking survivor from the Czech Republic.  Cosmopolitan Magazine from Prague, decided to do a feature on her in the June issue!  The Czech Republic has largely been in denial about this growing problem so the story will build awareness and action.   

AAI is working with Petra, founder of Sojka Foundation to develop a training program for traumatized trafficked victims to help them work through their trauma, and provide vocational training and a positive future.  We hope to initiate this program in Haiti. Click HERE to link to the Cosmopolitan Article about Petra, published in her native Czech Republic.
