Public asked to help send foster kids on holiday

(CNS): People collecting air-miles on Cayman’s national flag carrier are being asked to give those frequent flyer bonuses away to local foster kids. The NCVO has teamed up with Cayman Airways “Miles Ahead” programme to enlist their customers in the goal to help send nine children currently in foster care on a holiday in August to give them a break from group home living for a very special two week vacation. Members of Cayman Airways Frequent Flyer programme-Sir Turtle Awards who have accumulated air-miles can donate them to the NCVO to help the Nadine Andreas Residential Foster Home children.

An account has been set up for people to donate their Frequent Flyer miles by simply filling out a short form. Contact Janice Wilson, CEO of the NCVO on 949-2124 or by emailing ncvo@candw.ky to receive a copy of the form. Forms are also available on www.caymanairways.com or at the Cayman Airways Headquarters. Donators are asked to list the NCVO acct # 100157374 as the Charity receiving the donated miles.

Financial donations are also needed to make this trip a possibility; contributions can be made by contacting the NCVO at the above email address or by phoning 949-2124.
