Jetrader - November/December 2009 - 17

ISTAT foundation I am pleased to update you on the progress of two of our key programs at the ISTAT Foundation: The Scholarship program and the Humanitarian Initiative. Under the able leadership of Foundation Trustees Dana Lockhart and Roland Moore, the 2009-2010 Scholarship Program is under way. Thanks to the ISTAT membership, we David P. Sutton, were able to reach out to a number Chairman of new schools this year, requesting ISTAT Foundation applications from 106 schools in 30 countries. This year’s recipients will be announced by year’s end, and the committee will award $130,000 in scholarships. Over the past year, the ISTAT Foundation has been working diligently to create a humanitarian program for ISTAT; one that would utilize the strengths of the ISTAT membership while supporting various humanitarian initiatives. Bob Brown, former ISTAT Foundation Chair, has been leading the effort along with the support of countless volunteers. The humanitarian committee is pleased to announce the official name of the new program: ISTAT AirLink - A Humanitarian Aid Initiative of the ISTAT Foundation. ISTAT AirLink is a unique web-based program which connects airline capacity to humanitarian need while utilizing the network of the ISTAT membership. Recently, the ISTAT Foundation successfully completed its first humanitarian aid mission under the new program. ISTAT AirLink, in conjunction with Star Alliance members Air Canada and South African Airways, combined forces to expedite an urgent shipment of the antibiotic Azithromycin, from Toronto, Canada to Blantyre, Malawi. Azithromycin is used for the treatment of Trachoma, one of the neglected tropical diseases. Trachoma can lead to blindness if untreated; 50 million-plus people in the developing world are affected by it. The medicine was flown from Toronto to London on Air Canada and from London to the city of Blantyre on South African Airways. Freight forwarding was provided by Access Air, and all flight services were donated. The antibiotics were originally donated by Health Partners International and will ultimately be received and administered by IRIS Ministries in rural Malawi. The ISTAT Foundation matched the need for this cargo shipment with the supply of capacity as a test case for its proprietary Web-ware program. The program allows airlines and non-government organizations (NGOs) to communicate when passenger or cargo space for humanitarian-aid purposes is offered or required. No such system has previously existed, therefore, often preventing many humanitarian-aid flight connections from being made. ISTAT AirLink is currently seeking a program manager. Anyone interested in this role, or in helping to grow the initiative, should contact Bob Brown at bob.brown@vxcapital.com.
