President and founder of the organisation is Prof. Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, a scholar of international distinction and the promoter of many endeavours for the safeguard of Tibetan culture. In October 1999 A.S.I.A. was awarded official recognition by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs of its competency in the selection, training and appointment of alternative service volunteers, in the realisation of short and medium term programmes in ‘developing countries’, in the training in loco of nationals of ‘developing countries’ and in public awareness projects. In May 2001 A.S.I.A. became a partner of ECHO (European Community Humanitarian Office) for emergency interventions in areas where A.S.I.A. is present through signing the Partnership Framework Contract.
