An Act of Caring – A Gift of Life

Sometimes we’re asked why we’re dedicated to helping orphaned, abandoned, neglected or abused children.   The short answer is we love them and they need us.  But there’s more to it than that.

Children everywhere are equally precious.  Millions are in desperate need and don’t have clean water, medical care, a chance to go to school or a comfortable place to lay their heads at night.

Most of us want to make a difference, but we simply don’t know how. Airline Ambassadors has created a way for thousands of individuals to serve as a living link between world resource and world need, as Ambassadors of Goodwill in their home communities and abroad.

We make a long term commitment to help children at projects we adopt, and are especially focused on making sure they get an education.

Please consider Airline Ambassadors in your financial and estate planning. We accept contributions not for our organization but ultimately on behalf of the children we serve.  This responsibility is not taken lightly. It is at the core of our mission to ensure that every dollar we receive is spent carefully, wisely and effectively for those innocent lives depending on us.
