New ambassador for Lufthansa Cargo's social commitment
As part of Lufthansa Cargo's increased focus on the 17 sustainability goals of the United Nations, this support has now been illustrated on the newest freighter in the fleet: in cooperation with Lufthansa Technik, the Boeing 777F with the registration D-ALFI and the christened name "¡Buenos días México!" has been given a special livery. Since the founding of the aid organization Cargo Human Care e.V. by Lufthansa Cargo employees 13 years ago, the cargo crane has been supporting the organization's sustainable aid in Kenya. In addition to the Cargo Human Care logo and the motto "Step by step. Giving children a future", portraits of Kenyan children living in the "Mothers' Mercy Home" orphanage run by Cargo Human Care also adorn the modern cargo aircraft. They were drawn by Franka Doyen, a founding member of the aid project.
"Social commitment has always been part of Lufthansa Cargo's DNA. With the new motifs on the freighter, we are not only continuing our support for Cargo Human Care, but also for the United Nations' sustainability goal of 'No Poverty'," explains Lufthansa Cargo Operations Board Member Harald Gloy.
Fokko Doyen, first chairman of Cargo Human Care and flight captain at Lufthansa Cargo, is also delighted with the new livery: "Cargo Human Care is not only a matter close to my heart, but also that of many of my colleagues. I am very proud that we now have a new ambassador who is carrying Cargo Human Care around the world."
Cargo Human Care e.V. was founded in 2007 by Lufthansa Cargo employees and has since supported people in Kenya, giving them access to education and medical care. In addition to an orphanage, the association runs a medical center, two elementary school, a youth home and a training workshop for leatherworking in Kenya. Back in 2015, a Lufthansa Cargo MD-11F with the registration D-ALCH and also the baptismal name "¡Buenos días México!" was given a special livery for Cargo Human Care. Following the aircraft's retirement in March as part of the rollover to a more efficient freighter fleet, the newest "Triple Seven" in the fleet will now take on the task of carrying Cargo Human Care's mission around the world. The first trip is already planned for this weekend with flight number LH8472 to Chennai.
