Zenith STOL Prevents Teen-Pregnancies

Incredible as it may sound, that is the fact of today.

At the request of a teacher in a rural African community we were asked to extend our drop run to fly around a remote school so that the teachers could tell the girls 'that is a plane built by Ghanaian girls and flown by them' - and then to use that towards an 'anti-teen-pregnancy' talk. (you can read more here http://medicineonthemove.blogspot.com/2012/05/stopping-teenage-preg... )

I am always amazed at how what we CAN do with our aircraft can change so many lives - in fact, I know that I change at least 1 or not 10 or 100 every single flight we do.  That is why we call it 'Changing Lives, One Flight at a Time'...  

So, as you build you plane, fly your plane, talk about your plane - realise that you have a powerful tool, and a plane just like yours is helping to prevent teen-pregnancies in a tough part of the world... http://www.medicineonthemove.org/
