WE ARE DELIGHTED
to have received
a special letter from a very special person
this month. Supermodel and UNICEF
UK ambassador Claudia Schiffer sent a
message to all our passengers, thanking
them for their help in our Change for
Good partnership. Since 2 July, this
initiative has seen passengers’ loose
change collected and given to the
organisation, which has then been used
to help disadvantaged kids.
In her letter, Schiffer, who has been an
ambassador for UNICEF since 1997, said
the charity “couldn’t do it without you”,
explaining that by giving any money that
you can spare, “you help to provide the
training, the knowledge and the expertise”
to “protect all of the children and their
rights”. She has experienced the good
these funds can do first hand, having taken
part in immunisation and aid projects
over the past 15 years: “I have been lucky
enough to travel the world,” she wrote,
“and, as a UNICEF UK ambassador,
I’ve seen how they are helping to save
children’s lives every day.”
The money collected by cabin crew at
the end of easyJet’s 1,200-plus daily flights
can make a real difference in saving lives.
Just £1 can help provide vaccines against
six potentially deadly diseases – TB, OPV,
diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis andmeasles
– while £4 could buy a specially treated
mosquito net and protect a family from
malaria for five years.
UNICEF’s Change for Goodproject has
so far raisedmore than £53m, andwe
hope tobe able to raisemillionsmore.
Our involvement has alsobeenpraisedby
UNICEFUK’s president, PaddyAshdown,
whodescribed it as a “perfectmatch”. He
added, “With the support andgenerosity
of easyJet passengers this summer and
beyond, Change for Goodwill helpUNICEF
to reach thousands of childrenwith simple,
life-saving interventions.”
Look out for your chance to donate at
the end of your flight, and save a life today.
