AIRINTERMED

AIRINTERMED REVIVAL 2015….
We are very excited and proud to announce that this coming fall Dooley Intermed International working with Airline Ambassadorshttp://airlineamb.org/ will be reviving Dooley Intermed’s AIRINTERMED program …AIRINTERMED is a unique opportunity for airline employees to participate in programs devoted to improving health conditions for the people of Nepal.
HISTORY
Beginning in 1961 thru 1988, over 300 flight attendants from 26 airlines volunteered to assist in remote clinics in S.E. Asia as part of the AirIntermed program. The Stewardesses gave up a quarter of their annual salary to do three months of service.
The airline volunteer program was conceived by Dooley Intermed’s then President and Founder, Dr. Verne Chaney, in 1961 to provide volunteer assistance to its medical, and educational programs. Dr. Chaney obtained the interest and support of the management of Pan American World Airways to allow its stewardesses to be granted a three month leave of absence without pay, to voluntarily work in the various projects, which in turn agreed to provide them with room, board and health care, while Pan Am provided transportation to and from the project sites. The stewardesses worked along-side Dooley Intermed’s doctors and nurses in its clinics, hospitals, orphanages and schools or wherever there was a need for extra help. They were assigned to Dooley Intermed project sites in India, Nepal, Viet Nam, Laos, and Thailand.
Eleven national and international airlines soon agreed to cooperate in this effort allowing their own stewardesses to work in Dooley Intermed’s projects. Over the 25 years of the program, 300 stewardesses from the various airlines participated in this humanitarian effort carried out by these courageous, dedicated ladies. The stewardesses were called upon to do tasks which most had never done before - - help the doctors in a Laotian clinic - - use puppets to teach hygiene and public health in Thailand - - assist the Dooley Intermed doctors in carrying out immunization programs in Nepal. Dr. Chaney quoted, “I’m personally very proud of the Stewardess Program, and it is my belief, that this unique undertaking truly represented charity at its very finest”.
AIRINTERMED TODAY….
The Airline volunteers will be working at the Eco-Farm Home for Orphaned Children Volunteer Service Program in the Sankkhu–Sharada Village, Nepal in cooperation with Mission Himalaya, Kathmandu.www.facebook.com/MissionHimalaya
This program is still in the planning stage and we will post updated information when available…
