INTRO

Momentum for change has reached new levels, such that the
peoples and societies of Africa, Brazil and Cuba are now akin
to a MOVING TRAIN, and one that is rapidly accelerating.

This is an express line.  It will not stop for us to get on
board. We will have to jump on.

The AASP Educational/Travel Program is designed to offer
participants a breadth of exposure and to help them formulate
those questions necessary for critical thinking and analysis,
in preparation for playing an active role in fostering global
cooperation, mutual economic development and a climate
of justice.

We hope to push the scope of human thinking and action
beyond the confines of national borders, political systems,
race, etc.

This program is the required homework for personal growth and
for leadership in the 21st Century.

We hope you will join us.
