November 12th, 2006

Under the guidelines of AHAN philosophy and the guidance of Homma Kancho’s teaching, AHAN Central America has been quite active in 2006. Homma Kancho’s dream for AHAN has been for local AHAN IISA (Instructors in support of AHAN) to be able to act independently in promoting AHAN activities in their own countries and to organize support for their own communities. The purpose of Homma Kancho’s travels around the world is to teach the philosophy and methodology of AHAN so that local instructors can take the lead in continuing the work of AHAN in step with the needs and abilities of each local community. The dream has been like the dropping of a pebble in a still pond; the pebble makes waves that continue outward into the future.

Dr. Tanaka, director of the Casa de la Amistad and Mr. Kawami, President of the Japanese Mexico Association as well as 200 patrons were on hand for this special event.
