No, there are no differences, but there is an exclusion. When you Register, you start as a Member of ASFI®–AWBIS®, ASFLAT® or ASFWHO® (depending on your Country of Origin) and in any of its areas and subareas, (with the only exclusion being the International FEDASF®-IFAWBAS®), that has requirements to “Be a Federated Member” or “Member of the Federation”.
However, by being a Member of ASFLAT® Acupuntores Sin Fronteras of Latin America and the Caribbean or, in Acupuncturists Without Borders International Society AWBIS®, or Acupuntores Sin Fronteras Internacional ASFI®, You will be “Part” of the 4 Centers that Were Unified, including the FEDASF® International, who will closely monitor its activity, and at one time as a Member could “Federation”.
Now, the differences, (they do not have discriminatory purposes), the Members that belong to the FEDASF®–IFAWBAS®, were (and continue to be) Members of any of the Centrals that were dispersed.
Their trajectory is taken into account as part of the volunteering that “They won by Permanence”, or carried out the “Verification of Knowledge”, after their 5 years of uninterrupted permanence, or “By the Actions, Joint Performed”.
Or “for the Expansion that they could have achieved, in the Organization at a regional or global level, and visible actions on behalf of Acupuncturists Without Borders International Society”, therefore, it is considered a Merit and Honor to be part of the International Federation. (without having to renounce the Membership that you may have).
But, “the entry key to FEDASF®-IFAWBAS®” is the Membership to: ASFLAT®, ASFI®-AWBIS®, or in ASFWHO®
“Being part of any of these Centrals and taking actions”, is that you can reach the Membership of: FEDASF® International. To the Reader or Member here, we inform you that being “Federated” is not new, the category of “Federated” was established in 1974, (which you can see on our timeline under “History”). In this link on the Main website of www.AcupuntoresSinFronteras.Org
Being a Member of: ASFLAT® “Acupuntores Sin Fronteras of Latin America and the Caribbean” or of, AWBIS® “Acupuncturists Without Borders International Society” or ASFI® “Acupuntores Sin Fronteras Internationales”, is just as important as being part of: ASFWHO® “Acupuncturists Sin Fronteras – World Humanitarian Organization”, (in any of its four languages). The real difference is that they change: territories, languages, some dependency, and in some legal aspects of the Organization, which do not influence the correct development of AWBIS®-ASFI®, since each part forms a Unit, with a Unified Directors Board, or UDB™, which is the unification of each Central in the world.
Even if you are a Member of any of the 4 Centrals, including the subareas that depend on any central, you will always be part of Acupuncturists Without Borders International Society ASFI®–AWBIS®.
The names of the Unified Centrals, do not create any difference in the people, all the Volunteer Members, we belong to AWBIS®-ASFI®, equally. We can carry out the same voluntary actions, to help, to contribute ideas, to vote, to request, and to participate in any campaign, or in training that any of them can do, independently, or in conjunction with other Educational Organizations. Always be part of AWBIS®–ASFI®, and all are governed by the same Standards, Regulations and Code of Ethics. Therefore, once again, to speak of any of the Centrals or Sub Centrals is to speak of: Acupuncturists Without Borders International Society AWBIS®-ASFI®.
There are also Categories for Schools, Institutes, Academies, Training Centers, since the end of 2019, the Agreements that existed until that date were Repealed, to Formalize the New Agreements or Contracts.
Apart from the Standard, today the Organization is opened so that they can Formalize Affiliations and Agreements with ASFLAT®, ASFI®–AWBIS® and ASFWHO®, to any Entity, which at the time could not enter, or was prevented by any cause or reason.
To the Entities, with the New Agreements and Contracts, we can provide: Exchange, Certificates, Endorsements, Sponsorships, Approvals, Advertising, and be on the list of Educational Centers. You will find information on this Website.
