On Dec. 1, 2011, 34 children participated on a Fantasy Flight to the North Pole (leaving from Santiago, Chile).

The idea was birthed last April, during a UNICEF site visit by our AAI team.   The office of the First Lady of Chile and the Ministry of Justice also participated in this heartwarming flight for children!  Many thanks for support from American Airlines Flight Service, and coordination from Rachel Martinez at the US Embassy.  Additional thanks to Sam Santiago, Jim Mariano and Amy Doe who traveled from the US, as well as Paula Caviglia, Carolina Lara, and everyone who helped make this a memorable day for the children!
