Many thanks to Christine Page for her awesome leadership in developing the Airline Ambassadors Sponsorship program to support the children of Shepherd of the Hills Children’s Home. She is also an amazing photograpger and took pictures of each of the children at SOTH so we could get every one of the children sponsored. She has recently retired from American Airlines and Linda Winslow has stepped in to continue her important work – Welcome Linda – See Chris’s letter below:
Letter to AAI Sponsors
As many of you know, I retired from American Airlines in October. I love it! I’m looking forward to traveling in my camper van while writing a memoir about my long flight attendant career. It’s also the right time for me to step down from my volunteer position with Airline Ambassadors International (AAI).
When I attended my first Philippine Mission in 2014, I was inspired by Cheryl Robinson’s leadership and dedication at Shepherd of the Hills Children’s Foundation (SOTH). I immediately knew that I needed to do something to help, so I started AAI’s Philippine Sponsorship Program. Since that time, the program has raised over $250,000 for the orphanage in both the Sponsorship and College Sponsorship Programs. Over 60 kids have benefitted from your donations, and we currently have nine students in college! It has been a great honor to work with all of you, and to support the beautiful children of SOTH.
The wonderful news going forward is that Linda Winslow will take over as AAI’s Philippine Sponsorship Coordinator. Linda has attended many Philippine Mission Trips (a number too great to count) and she will 
continue our program.When 
I first met Linda, she was dressed as Santa Claus for our AAI Christmas in October celebration. Some of the kids laughed, while others tugged on her long white “beard”. Linda’s passion for the children was evident that day, and on every mission trip since that time.
Nancy Rivard started AAI and made her dream of helping children around the world a reality. Being a volunteer for AAI is something that I will always be proud of.
Thanks so much to all of you for making our AAI Sponsorship Program a huge success. My husband Philip and I sponsor two kids in college, and we plan to continue to be a part of our extended family at Shepherd of the Hills. Linda has sponsored Ella since the very beginning. We have both witnessed first hand how the Sponsorship Program has helped children by providing food, shelter, clothing, health care, and education. Your generosity has helped give the kids a really good life, and most of all, hope for the future!
With love, Chris
