The essence of the this

carlos slim foUndaTion program is to conserve,

investigate, disseminate, collect and give historic and artistic testimony in order

to foster and facilitate that every day more Mexicans have free access to art and

to the various cultural expressions. Culture is conceived as part of the integral

formation of human beings because it enriches their vision of the world and

their environment.

For

carlos slim foUndaTion, Human Development is an essential part

of the growth of individuals and therefore encourages it and facilitates actions

focused on achieving personal wellbeing, with a family and social impact. This

program  contributes  to  constant  self-improvement  developing  values  that

forge individuals satisfied with their lives and committed to their work. The

work carried out is based on the altruism of men and women responsible for

their own and others human development, since their philosophy fosters the

personal growth of the persons giving and also of the persons receiving.

“learn to want to do”, “get persons to feel that they have a place in this life”

and “be able to consider that voluntary work is an exercise of harmony with

oneself”,  these  are  some  of  the  constant  expressions  of  the  testimonials  of

those that participate in aSUMe, TelMeX Social Wellbeing and the TelMeX

volunteers network, forming with all of them a human team of excellence that,

throughout the entire country, gives its warm aid with experience, efficiency

and on a timely manner.

The Growth and Development for Mexico association was created in 1980

and its objective is to contribute to the integral development of persons

through a human development program that motivates them to be in

contact with themselves and thus start a path headed towards constant

improvement, in order to become better persons, enrich the environment

in which they lives – their family, the institution where they work, study, etc.–,

and is committed to work for the progress of the country.

all human beings may be perfected, are apt to improve and develop all

their natural capacities and skills through a continuous and permanent

process of Personal Growth and Development. aSUMe conceives this

growth and development as the full realization of man in eight areas of

individuals: Physical, affective, Social, economic, aesthetic, intellectual,

Moral and Spiritual.
