Default Miserable life without flying

Her name is Anna, she is a teenager in Poland, now graduating high
school.
Anna wanted to fly gliders very bad. I have never met a person in my
entire life that wanted to learn to fly that bad. The problem is that
she has no money to learn to fly.
Today the cost of flying in Poland is as high as it is in the United
States, but people there make 5-10 times less. I found out that her
father is a disabled coalminer on meager pension.
I was just thinking how miserable my life would have been if I did not
have a chance to fly, how positively flying influenced my life, how
fortunate I am.
I want to help Anna. I can't do it all by myself because I am
retired, but maybe we can do it together. Maybe you can help or you
know someone who could help.
Please contact me at
At least I helped her start her lessons. It is unbelievable how happy
she is; it is unbelievable what flying can do to a person.

Andre Volant
