Getting Airborne

I was out surfing on the Internet and came across the Grameen Bank. I would like to congratulate you on your phenomenal success in helping the poorer people of the World, and also congratulate you on the Microcredit system. Well done!

I see from this web site the complete structure of the Grameen Bank, and the many people it supports in its mission. Like you I have felt the need to help the poor, a calling to serve them in their needs wherever needs may be. I see this strong need in Bangladesh.

I would like to know if the Grameen Bank would be interested in sponsoring a small air ambulance for Bangladesh. This service could fly emergency patients to hospitals and shuttle aid workers, and missionaries around the countryside. It could be called Grameen Air Ambulance, and also be an advertisement for the bank, by putting the co any name and logo on the wings and fuselage. I am a private pilot and could offer my services as captain or co-pilot depending on what type of aircraft you may decide to purchase. If you look at the Internet web page "Aircraft Shopper Online", you will see that suitable aircraft like the Cessna 172, 182, Centurion Seneca 11, and Piper Aztec, can be purchased quite reasonably abroad in the U.S. If you are interested in providing a sponsorship of this nature I will donate my radio and GPS navigational system to this project. Presently unemployed in Ireland, and anxious to play my part in supporting the poorer peoples of Bangladesh, I eagerly await your reply.
