I recently participated in an Airline Ambassador project to

Ouagadougou,
Burkina Faso
The
picture is of our escorts, AA flight attendants Masako Doi
and Danielle deBeauffort, and Melinda Morenz, a former AA
flight attendant, in the CDG Airport in Paris as they
receive 3 little patients from the two Air France escorts
who brought them from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Since the
two babies were both coming for heart surgeries Melinda, who
is also an RN, was all prepared to check them out and make
sure they were doing well on their long journey. The trip
went well and they were met in Ohare by two new escorts,
|
|
Soad Hamdan and
Christian Robinson, both AA flight attendants who
accompanied them to their final destinations in the U.S.
Although there were so many things that could have gone
wrong on such a complicated trip, everything went exactly as
planned. All three children are having their surgeries and
we expect to be able to return them to their homeland in a
few weeks with help once again from our friends at Aviation
sans Frontieres in Paris. |
