What is ANSPAC?
The National Association for the Improvement of the
Human Person, a private association, promotes social advancement through continuing
education for working adults.
ANSPAC was founded in Monterrey, Mexico,
in 1974, by a group of lay people concerned about
enhancing family values.
What are ANSPAC’s specific goals?
-Promote the consciousness of
one’s own dignity so as to achieve personal improvement.
-Promote the
intelligent, balanced and responsible participation of each person in the
development of his own family, society and country.
-Foster a sense
of responsibility and determination for achieving a wholesome personal improvement
that benefits individual families and society as a whole.
How does
ANSPAC work?
It recruits and teaches volunteers connected with local businesses
(for example, wives of business executives) to give formation courses
to the wives of workmen in the same business. The
result is the social and spiritual betterment of both the
teachers and the students.
The materials for support, methodology, and qualification
are provided by ANSPAC. ANSPAC is supported by a collection
of educational institutions, business counselors, generous individuals and professionals from
different disciplines.
ANSPAC programs are founded on eight main values:
Moral: To
strengthen our standards and behavior.
Spiritual: To deepen the transcendent values
which elevate people in family, social and work environments.
Skill: To
discover and foster one’s own artistic and creative abilities.
Intellectual: To
awaken the desire to acquire a broad basis of knowledge,
and foster a method of thought that is analytical, profound,
and objective.
Social: To recognize that each person is an active
member of society, and that society needs our generous and
dynamic cooperation.
Affective: To live true and responsible love with one´s
spouse, family, and friends.
Physical: Exercise, nutrition and hygeine as essential
parts of a balanced and sound life.
Economic: To learn the
value and efficient use of one’s own material means.
Those who
work in ANSPAC do so voluntarily, as a true vocation
to service.
ANSPAC is presently working in the following countries: Mexico,
Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, El Salvador, Panama and the United
States.
