Some day after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we will harness the energies of love and then, for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire.” – Teilhard de Chardin
Accendo Incedo Magnus (AIM) International Inc was launched into the forefront of human development as an organization dedicated to the well being of those within its circle of influence. The concept of AIM was formulated in a likeness to what was going on at NASA at the time of great discoveries in SPACE and those principles of excellence were applied to the AIM model. David J. & Sandra Young Kolbuc have continued to ensure the vision of A.I.M. is clear and true to the tenets on which the company was founded.
AIM was incorporated in September 1988 and has flourished for more than thirty years providing confidential psychological and therapeutic services by qualified psychologists and therapists since 1993. AIM has maintained close positive relationships with various social agencies and professional personnel in the region including but not limited to doctors, lawyers, teachers and other practitioners to provide excellent service to our citizens.
The Vision
“TO KINDLE THE FLAME OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT TO AIM WITH POWER AND ENTHUSIASM
TOWARD THE STARS OF ONE’S OWN UNIVERSE WHEREVER THOSE STARS MAY BE”
The Motto
