GERARDO: The following is a message from Charles Courtney, director of special projects, from Miracle Flights. I asked him to write the message in order to invite you to their current campaign.
CHARLES COURTNEY: "Hi devoted origamists! We are Miracle Flights and we are looking for your help. We are a charity that flies ill people who are in desperate need to get to distant medical care. This is a free service we provide and we fly people mostly in the United States but also from many countries across the globe who need life-saving medical treatment. To help promote our work we have a campaign called FlyIt4ward where we get people of influence to fly a paper plane made from a dollar bill. This will then go towards a donation and maybe they will challenge a friend to do the same. Would you like to join us by coming up with some simple, fun designs for dollar bill sized paper planes? Send us a sample and we will love to test fly it! Thanks for your interest and we look forward to flying with you!" GERARDO: I asked Charles about our credit as designers of those models. He said that the credits will be clear regarding the names of the planes andof their designers. There is NO payment involved; they are asking us to donate our time, skill, and knowledge in order to come up with the models. It's up to you to decide if you want to help or not. If you are interested, or you want to learn a little more, you can contact Christina Moon-programs and development director of Miracle Flights-at cmoon(at)miracleflights.org Sorry about the names in capital letters ; )
