All of us people come into this life with many differences – in personality, ability, looks, and so on. Yet, fundamentally, we all wish to be happy and have some degree of integration in our lives.
Here at JAMBO, we organize/participate in various activities which have the purpose of bettering each aspect of our overall environment – the social, natural and personal.
You can pick and choose among the various programs to find what appeals most to you, and move towards integrating your life in the way you see fit. (more…)

This course, as well as our monthly meetings, discuss a current topic and various ways action can be taken to deal with the issue. Please look at the following link to see the contents and level of difficulty.
