    AC 360: The Shot

    New Afghan Airline

     
    Dear CNN Ref: Afghanistan Airlines ( www.pamirairways.af ) Good day and hope all is well . We recently received a contract to delivery Two Boeing 737-200Adv aircrafts to Pamir Airways based in Kabul Afghanistan. Pamir Airways was the first private airlines in Afghanistan and was shut down by the Taliban years ago. We are now helping them get back into the market. The first aircraft is undergoing a D check at our facility in Tucson Arizona and We will be ready for delivery in around June 5th 2008. I have also attached some photos of me delivering other aircraft around the world that was all refurbished in Tucson. After delivering aircraft to a number of third world countries and saw first hand the situations these kids are in, it broke my heart and made me realize how lucky we are. I want to help so, I started Another Joy Foundation to collect school supplies, used and new toys to be sent to kids all over the world. The foundation has already collected over 160 large boxes of pencils and school supplies worth tens of thousands dollars. We have also collected over 4 tons of toys. We will be filling up the aircraft going to Afghanistan with the toys and school supplies for the under privileged kids in the country. We have a Afghan news stations that will be filming us unloading the planes in Kabul and would like to have you document the toys being loaded on the aircraft in Tucson. Also, One of the largest magazines in the aviation industry (Airliner World) will be sending a photographer on the aircraft to document the story in Kabul, it should make front cover.. Another one of my project made front cover of this magazine in 2005 will send info upon request. I have also attached our logo that was donated by Avion Graphics and will be painted on the side of the aircraft for the delivery flight. Another Joy Foundation is a registered nonprofit company in Nevada. We have a simple website up and we are currently working on upgrading it, www.anotherjoyfoundation.org. Please check on the news link and you can view a Pdf that contains some pics of the toys and schools supplies collected. Please send me your direct line and a good time to call you so I can tell you more about what we are doing. You can reach me on my cell 702-808-8929, we do not have much time as the aircraft is scheduled to depart around the 5th of June. Your time is greatly appreciated and with your help we will be able to spread the news of our mission, just imagine the many smiles you will help us delivery. I hope to hear from you soon.
