Featured Trip
Nicaragua
Please join Airline
Ambassadors and
Flutemaker
Ministries in a humanitarian
mission to Nicaragua. We will launch
projects to help orphaned and
abandoned children in the area of
Somoto named "The
Kids of Cascabel". The "Kids of Cascabel Project"
supports
Pastor Carlos Baez who found 18
children at the Somoto
garbage dump
and rescued them.
Having no resources to sustain them, Pastor
Carlos linked up with Erik the Flutemaker, whom he met in
2006.
Erik, his friends, and
his family began to
help
feed, clothe and educate these
children now known as the Kids of
Cascabel. Today, Pastor Carlos and his
wife, Lorena, and a small group of
helpers have expanded
their care to
include 31 children
who receive food, clothing, education and medical care
through donations
provided through the
supporters of the Kids of
Cascabel.
Join
us in providing nutrition, clothing,
housing and education
for children who
have
no chance of escaping their dire
circumstances without the assistance of
those outside their
community.

To Cambodia
Mission Coordinator and
Hawaii Regional
Director, Deborah Quigley
On October 9, an
Airline Ambassadors'
team
of eight arrived in Phnom Penh,
Cambodia. Led by
Mission Coordinator,
Deborah Quigley, the
group began a
journey
that would change their lives,
and
the lives of those they touched,
forever.
Days were filled with
visiting orphans
and vulnerable children
at the Future
Light Orphanage, the Cambodian
Children's Fund, the New Hope Cambodia's Community
Centre, and the ACODO
orphanage. Volunteers explored poverty-stricken villages and
walked hand-in-hand, singing, with school children.
With Deborah as guide
and trusted
leader,
the group did not miss a single
site
or fabulous experience in
Cambodia. As she
explains, "Your time
in
Siem Reap is not complete until you've
enjoyed the colorful bustling of a
morning in the floating villages on the
largest lake in SE
Asia: floating markets,
floating schools, a
floating church, floating homes, even a pig or 2 on
floating rafts.
Quite a sight."
If
you think you may like visiting beautiful,
colorful temples,
sharing your heart with
needy children, and perhaps, even
practicing yoga before
breakfast, watch for our next Cambodia
Trip.
Deborah, thank
you for taking our
volunteers on the trip
of a lifetime!
