Message from the WACA President, Maga Ramasamy
The 2020 Interline Festival
Many countries and the
WHO continue to work tirelessly for a vaccine to fight against COVID-19 but
none are on the market yet and things in many countries are not improving. With
restrictions continuing as far as international travel is concerned, the
possibility of us physically gathering together in November seems to be less
probable now so a Zoom video conference will be held very soon with the Council
members to assess the situation. This will be followed in due course with a
further Zoom video conference with the Auditors, Regional Coordinators and
Ambassadors who are considered as our Association’s Supporting Team for a final
decision whether or not to hold The 2020 Interline Festival.
Charity Initiative
I personally organised
a charity mission to Rodrigues Island last week with the support of the
Association Airline Ambassadors and the Paille-en-Queue Social Club of Air
Mauritius (both members of WACA). Coins were collected, banked and remitted to
the Reverend Trevor Huddleston House which looks after the island’s needy
children. A workshop is in preparation to be held in early October with
stakeholders in travel and tourism on responsible and sustainable tourism
particularly regarding the protection of children in the supply chain.
Mauritian Wildlife
Foundation
Through the Association
Airline Ambassadors I have been supporting the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation
which is in the process of transferring endangered reptiles and birds this week
from Mauritius to Jersey the largest of the Channel Islands that are a
self-governing dependency of the United Kingdom.
Office Restrictions
Update
The province of Quebec
rules that set a limit on the number of staff a company is allowed to work in
its offices at any given time continues so I can only work from the office on a
limited number of days per month. It is still not known how long these
restrictions will continue so I continue to also work from home as required
between my restricted office visits.
Grand Venture Bonanza
And the Winners is ...
The third draw of 2020 for a USD 100.00 cash prize donated by WACA was
made today in the WACA office by myself due to the social distancing
restrictions that are currently in place. There were 268 tickets in the draw
and the lucky winner is Rosemarie Mamede the WACA European Regional
Coordinator with ticket number 14969. Congratulations.
Next Draw
The remaining 267
tickets will now be included in the next draw scheduled to be held later this
month for another USD 100.00 cash prize donated
by WACA.
KEEP WELL. STAY SAFE.
Yours in interlining,
