Description

With a desire to reach the most isolated communities with little access to education, infrastructure, or healthcare, MAF now operates in more than 25 countries across the developing world. Decade by decade, ‘Above and Beyond’ recalls key moments in the organisation’s history, giving inspiring examples of how MAF has worked in partnership with NGOs and crisis response teams to reach people living in devastating situations. It also examines MAF’s expert response to global disasters – including the flights to gather first seen footage from Ethiopia, which launched the Band Aid movement. Without MAF planes, thousands of communities would remain cut off from the essentials they need to survive. Lavishly illustrated and including moving accounts and fascinating facts about the countries, aircraft, and remote communities where MAF serves, ‘Above and Beyond’ reveals how aviation and technology are transforming life for some of the world’s most vulnerable and isolated communities. MAF frequent flier, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, has written the foreword to this book. Through the pages of ‘Above and Beyond,’ readers can travel to the very ends of the earth and discover what it really means to fly for life. ‘A beautiful and inspiring account of how the Kingdom of God has spread to those who are in great need’ From the Foreword by The Most Reverend Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury
