| Description | Airline Ambassadors International (AAI) is the only humanitarian assistance, international development, and relief organization that leverages the resources of the airline industry. Membership in the organization is open to anyone, but airline personnel and their families are encouraged to use their flight benefits to travel to make a difference. Volunteers hand deliver food, blankets, clothing and shoes, hygiene items, medical and school supplies, and wheelchairs to children and families in need at home and abroad. Members escort children to the United States who are in need of medical treatment not available in their own country or who are being adopted. AAI also supports substantive international development projects, including digging wells in Nicaragua and building radio towers for indigenous peoples who live deep in the Amazon rainforest. These activities heighten awareness of global inequity, increase cultural appreciation, and positively impact local communities. |
