AAI Networking with other NGOs in Cambodia

Airline Ambassadors International was represented at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new Bakong Technical College which is an undertaking of Project Enlighten.

Photo shows me with Bill and Jill Morse of the Landmine Museum, and Lisa McCoy and Asad Rahman of Project Enlighten (see more links at the very bottom of this page).

The school is designed to be socially and environmentally responsible, devoted to the development and preservation of rural Cambodia in the field of green design and environmental conservation, along with cultural and ecological tourism. It is located 16km east of the world’s renowned Angkor World Heritage Site in the Bakong District of Siem Reap.

Lisa McCoy has also donated 30 bicycles for the children in Kep at Cambodia World Family's school there, where she will volunteer for 6 weeks in December and January.

WELCOME to the AIRLINE AMBASSADORS INTERNATIONAL blog where members of our team of volunteers keep you up to date with their ongoing work. AAI is a non-profit organization that began as a network of airline employees using their travel privileges to help others. Since 1992 we have helped to restart the lives of more than 500,000 children across the planet. It is the only independent relief and development organization within the airline industry.

Airline Ambassador's Medical Director, Dr Daniel Susott, made a trip back to Cambodia with some of the Cambodians who have benefited from his help over the past 20 years. He traveled to orphanages, schools and community development projects in Phnom Penh, Kiep, Siem Reap and Battambang in an effort to secure ongoing funding for Airline Ambassador Intl projects. With the January 12, 2010 Haitian earthquake Daniel - who has wide disaster experience - went straight from SE Asia to Port-au-Prince to provide logistical support to Airline Ambassador's emergency program in Haiti.
