Malaria is manageable Every year, millions of passengers board KLM fl ights with a burning desire to discover new lands. Unfortunately, these countries can also be home to children in need – a need outlined in the UN Millennium Development Goals. KLM AirCares offers promotional, logistical and fi nancial support to NGOs to help them achieve these goals. One of these organisations is Malaria No More! a Dutch foundation that contributes towards the prevention and treatment of malaria, especially in Africa. NET GAINS FROM MALARIA NO MORE! In Tanzania, Malaria No More! is supporting FAME, the Foundation for African Medicine and Education. FAME works with like-minded partners to bring quality health care to Karatu, an area in northern Tanzania where malaria, pneumonia and diarrhoearelated diseases are the main cause of death among children younger than fi ve. To donate money and/or Flying Blue Miles to this or any other AirCares charity, please visit aircares.nl or make a donation during this fl ight (see the last page of our shopping section in this issue). If you would like more information on Malaria No More!, please visit malarianomore.eu KLM introduced new uniforms for its female cabin crew, pilots and ground staff to great acclaim in April. But what do to with the nearly 90,000 kilograms of uniforms that are now no longer worn? In KLM PEOPLE & PLANET Material gains MAKING A POINT WITH UPCYCLING line with its pioneering corporate social responsibility policy, the airline has chosen to ‘upcycle’ the old material, with the help of textile reworking company Frankenhuis Group Haaksbergen. This process has a substantial environmental advantage: potential savings of up to 500 million litres of water and 715 tons of C02, not to mention reducing pesticide, manure and oil usage, can be achieved by reworking KLM’s old uniforms, instead of cultivating raw materials. Agriculture also benefi ts: land can be used for foodstuffs, for example, rather than for growing cotton. Quite what the material will end up being upcycled as remains to be decided but, who knows, you could in future be sitting in a seat made from a material that was previously a KLM uniform! Banding together Funk for Life, a project set up by Swedish jazz trombonist Nils Landgren, his band Funk Unit and the medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières, provides musical instruments for the inhabitants of Kibera, a poverty-stricken area southwest of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Sponsored by KLM, which helped with the transportation to Nairobi, Nils and his team travelled to Kibera last autumn with as many musical instruments as they could carry. The musicians later donated the instruments to the children of Kibera, and held a concert in the middle of town – the fi rst time one had ever been staged there! “To give children something to do, to get them inspired, can be exactly what they need to keep them away from potential criminal activities,” says fi lm maker Mattias Klum, who also participated in the project. You can listen to music from the CD NILS LANDGREN: IN TUNE WITH KIBERA Funk for Life via KLM’s audio-and-videoon-demand (AVOD) system in June and July. For every CD sold, one euro is donated to Médecins Sans Frontières’ work in Kibera. See also funkforlife-contest.com. Holland Herald TRAVELLERS CHECK 89
