3 Give a Jerrycan for Christmas The perfect MAF gift. A 20 litre jerrycan filled with fuel has the power to save a life! Six-year-old Mika was happily playing with his friends when he fell from a tree and impaled his abdomen. Missionaries in the village tried to treat him, but they weren t able to extract the wood that was lodged in his stomach; and they feared internal bleeding or an infection. They called MAF and requested an emergency evacuation. MAF s Kodiak aircraft quickly arrived and Mika was airlifted to the hospital in Sentani where doctors discovered the wood had pierced both sides of Mika s small intestine and was starting to poke into his large intestine, causing toxins to leak into his abdominal cavity. Mika received emergency surgery, and two hours later, he was on the road to recovery. Deliver a Bible Fly in school supplies Your gift will put an eternal treasure in the hands of the poorest and most remote people. Educating children is key to solving poverty. Many people walk for days through the bush to reach an airstrip in the hope of taking a copy of God s Word back to their village. Your gift will make sure they don t leave empty handed. However, some communities are so remote they depend on MAF for absolutely everything to do with school: supplies, teachers and even the materials for building classrooms. $15 Your gift means an extra box of school supplies can be loaded onto the aircraft and delivered to some of world s most isolated school children. In many of the thousands of remote communities served by MAF, a single flight that can take mere minutes, can save hours of overland travel by road or even days by foot. Depending on the location and type of aircraft flown, your gift of a jerrycan of fuel can provide up to 20 minutes of flying time enough to provide a life-saving flight. Give a jerrycan of fuel for Christmas. What an uplifting gift. $30 $45 Deliver nutrition supplements Especially designed for the nutritional rehabilitation of moderately and severely malnourished children, Plumpy Nut consist of a peanut-based paste, sugar, vegetable fat, and skimmed milk powder, and are enriched with vitamins and minerals. They require no preparation, added water or cooking, and can be consumed directly from the sachet, making them perfect for distribution immediately after transportation. Deliver an audio Bible $90 Nearly half the people in Papua New Guinea alone cannot read, but with this gift you can let them hear the Gospel in their own language. Your gift is a robust, solar-rechargeable audio player loaded with hundreds of hours of Bible narration. Your gift of an Audibible can be given to someone the world has forgotten about. It will sure to be an incredible blessing to everyone who hears the Gospel through it. $30 Your gift can help deliver 100 pounds of these nutrition packs to an emergency feeding centre in South Sudan; enough to provide 3 children suffering from severe malnutrition with the shortterm nourishment needed to save them from starvation.

4 Help stock a toolbox If you re an MAF pilot flying a single-engine aircraft over remote terrain far from civilization, you thank God for one of the best maintenance teams around. $150 But maintenance teams need tools. Your gift will help provide, repair, replace, or recalibrate a tool, helping to keep our planes flying. Provide a classroom in a box Fill a drum with fuel A jerrycan times ten: 200 litres of critical fuel. With this gift you bring help, hope and healing to the most isolated and needy parts of the world.

By maximizing the access we already have, we can provide them with access to the information so many of us take for granted. Built on the Raspberry Pi, this classroom in a box can provide an isolated school with a full K-12 curriculum, practical skills training, and a full range of educational multi-media materials, all without the need for an internet connection. $5,000 $1,500 Many rural communities in the developing world have limited access to basic healthcare. MAF s flying doctor services and medical safaris provide doctors, nurse practitioners and other healthcare workers with greater community access -they even conduct surgeries in the field! Medical safaris also provide instruction in personal hygiene and sanitation, help identify those in need of greater attention, and aid in the distribution of mosquito nets to help stem the spread of malaria.
