Welcome to a web page devoted to CIASP - an
organization that gave idealistic students of the 1960s
a chance to visit and live with families in the mountain
ranchos of Mexico. I was fortunate to be part of that
group in 1968 and spend time with some incredible people
- both our Mexican hosts, as well as the other students
from Canada. There are now two (great) web sites
dedicated to former CIASPrs. Links to them are show
below. From those sites, you can find out more about
CIASP. This page will hold some memories from that time
and will be updated when I find things to add. (After 38
years, I'm lucky to find anything!!!) Enjoy!

REUNION - 2006 |
|
|
|
|
|
A reunion of CIASPers (no one is
a former CIASPer) was held at the
Scarboro Mission on June 24/25, 2006. Old
(=long-standing) friends got together (and met new
friends). We talked, we laughed, we talked some more, we
shared and we celebrated our good fortune to be part of
such a special group of people. Another reunion is
already being discussed. If you missed this one - keep
watching this & the web sites below for further
information. Thanks to all who attended - it is YOU who
made this such a memorable experience! |
