The American Students' Fund is committed to seeing a revolution in this county - a grass roots character revolution. This is a site where visitors are asked to consider the following question:
- Imagine you - and the members of your community - had the chance to travel to an unpopulated area of the world to build an ideal society. With no food, shelter, history, or laws, you'd have quite a challenge. If you had this opportunity, what character traits would the citizens need if your new society was to survive, and then thrive? About Us.
