For the third year in a row, today October 28th, 200 students with
different abilities were transported from the third floor of CASP to Atlanta
and back to Lima. The students enjoyed an innovated and unique experience with
the support of Delta Air Lines.
Delta Air Lines is committed to support initiatives of organizations which
work to improve the health and well-being of people with different abilities, hoping
to have an impact on the lives of people all over the world.
This activity was performed with the support of Ms. Delia Maria Ortega,
representative of Delta Air Lines in Peru, and local and international airline
staff. The purpose of the activity is to make our students participate in the
simulation to learn the whole flying sequence in an airplane and be ready to
have this flying experience. They follow instructions such as waiting for their
turn to be assisted, providing their personal details (name, age, address),
identifying their seat number according to their boarding pass, taking care of
their belongings, and following instructions of the flight attendants.
“It is an inspiring experience that a company such as Delta continues betting on people with
different abilities for three years, and that always ask us how to improve. The
company is adding new environments, such as a counter like the one we find at
the airport, security and a simulated plane with more seats. Delta is helping
our students to know the sequence since they arrive at the airport, show their
passports, recognise their seats, put away their suitcases. During these three
years, we have seen the difference made in the lives of our students when they
get on a plane. DELTA is a company aware of the mission of CASP, which is to
make independent, productive and happy people.” Explained Dr. Liliana Mayo,
founder of CASP.
Furthermore, Ms. Delia Maria Ortega, representative of Delta Air Lines in
Peru mentioned, “We are very pleased to help Centro Ann Sullivan del Perú do this simulated flight activity. It is the
third time we perform it and the results are impressive. It is important for us
in Delta to support the community we work for. Thank you, Centro Ann Sullivan.”
