Welcome to Mission Aviation Fellowship
MAF is a not-for-profit team of aviation professionals providing air transport
in places of deepest human need - remote places where flying is not a luxury,
but a lifeline. For almost 60 years, MAF has flown over jungles, mountains, swamps and deserts to bring thousands of men, women and children medical care, emergency relief, long-term development and Christian hope.

This week marks the two-month anniversary of the earthquake which struck Haiti. Brian Shepson, a MAF flight instructor recently returned from assisting in our disaster response, reports: 'The medical teams in the field hospitals are doing thousands of amputations, so many people have injured limbs that are either unrepairable or didn't get medical attention in time to save them.'
We continue to do lots of flights taking food to internally displaced people in remote areas. So far, we have received about 80 tons of food from World Food Programme. Most of this was distributed within a few days. Flights to a newly opened airstrip in the west - Fond des Blancs - have enabled this community to receive food.
Together with Operation Blessing, we continue to make food drops all over Haiti in places where there are large, hungry groups of displaced families. Incredibly, there are still places where hardly any supplies are getting through."

Seiye Wasakapi likes fish and fishing. But fish are not easy to find near Seiyes's village of Dodomona in Papua New Guinea's remote western highlands.
So he must walk about five hours through the bush to get to a good stream. One day recently he got up early, grabbed his fishing spear and headed off, hoping to return later that day with some fish for his family. It came perilously close to being Seiye's last day alive on earth.
